"Wow Joe, you have excellent instincts."

Eh. All I said was I wanted to see some skyline and maybe lets go down to Liberty State Park...

Where there happened to be a RadioHead concert in full swing.

Which we got to see free thanks to an easygoing Jersey State Trooper + the charm of a chica in JerseyGirl uniform.

(Favorite moment.. the singer is well into the intro of some slow ballad.. and totally forgets the song.. "SHIT!!... (silence)... SHIT!!!...(aimless twanging of guitar).. I hope you all dont have anywhere to go right now.." )

The other night, all i said was.. "Dinner? Lets roll by Grove Street in Jersey City then.."

"It'll be dead tho.."

"Maybe.. lets see anyways."

The Grove Street square was jumpin'.

We had some amazing (and amazingly cheap) Cuban Food. (Id been there before, but Id had some crappy blooming onions then).

Nah, its not my instincts. Its that she's willing to simply hang out.

Unlike most folk Ive met in the New York area.

They get itchy if theyre not doing a million things in 2 hours.

You never know what you'll find if you just slow down sometimes....
