charity: water 10k 2011

Last year's charity: water 10k was such a success that we decided to plan another one. Jessica Joy took the lead last year, but she had a lot on her plate this year so I took the lead in planning the event. We had a total of 26 people participate in this year's event. It was a perfect morning in Central Park, and everyone did a great job!

Thanks to Mike Anderson and John Nelson for taking all the pictures.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2011

On Thanksgiving morning, I went to my second "live" Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I asked a few friends in the city if they were interested in going, but no one wanted to go given the early start. So...I was excited when Vu emailed me saying his family was going and did I want to hang out with them at all on Thanksgiving day. I said I would love to go to the parade with them if that was ok.

We met around 6:45am at 68th and Lex, and walked across the park to Central Park West. We found a pretty good spot at about 67th and Central Park West. It was a beautiful, sunny day, probably around 50 degrees. The pictures turned out great by having the colorful park in the background.
