Today in New York

Today, Theo woke up at 5:15 and went back to sleep about 10 minutes later but I, I could not fall asleep again. It's 10am and it's already been a long day. Today, the weather is crappy - sticky, humid, threatening to rain, not very almost-October. Today, Barak Obama is speaking in Washington Square Park, 2 blocks away from my apartment. I am going to try to take Theo but it's going to be a mob scene. It's right in the middle of campus for goodness sake. Even if only 10% of the student population of NYU turns up, the park will be packed.
