  Just 40 miles............ I think the best thing in the world is when you decide to go somewhere you never have been to. Something different, something new. After coming off like a bandit and not paying for the repair of my phone, the gas peddle and me bonded and I caught my feet trekking around Bear Mountain.
The ast time I was there, I was about 3 years old. I really can't remember much from that far back so I tried to soak up enough of everything when I was there. The lake was pretty nice and I had a good time just looking at the people enjoying themselves. They rent these boats and non-nautical folks get on them and make fools of themselves.
A nice walk around the lake and back into the hooptie. When I was leaving, there was a scenic view route that I wanted to explore. Drove up the road and it took us to the top of the mountain. This view from up there was incredible. Incredible for the fact that something so beautiful can be so close to NYC. I could see NYC from the top of the mountain and it made me think that no matter how big NYC is, it is really so small compared to this. The writer in me almost took over and I started thinking about all the gorgeous nuances from that view. The hills falling into each other. The shades of green's pitching a battle to over come each other.The sky laying on top of the mountain as a beautiful woman caressing a silk bed.
It was just mind blowing. Spontaneous moments in life prove to be the best for me. Just get up and go and wonder where you will be in a few hours drive. I ate some shrimp yesterday and it was ok. The restaurant was pretty decent ( the suggestion from Tom himself ). I had a Shrimp Fra diavalo, Lenny had a Shell steak on a seasoned steak. It had seasoning up the wazoo but it was ok. Funny thing, when I was taking Lenny home and as soon as I got to drop her off, I had to use the bathroom. You know that Fish has the weakest buttcheeks in NYC. When I have to use the bathroom, I have to GO!!!!!!
I ate 4 lights and barely made it home. I need more fiber in my diet. Ok, time to bounce Porkchops
