"I love us!"

Okay, things are starting to look up. Ms. K is working full time at the pop-up bar in the Brooklyn Bridge Park (which is NOT sponsored by Ikea, btw, despite the suspicious presence of yellow and blue umbrellas). There is wind in our sails. Next Thursday is our proper anniversary. Good times.

I visited the pop-up bar last week with my roommate Libby. We drank beer while watching the boats go by on the East River. As the sun went down, the lights came on in the skyscrapers across the way. Despite the stunning views of lower Manhattan, the bar felt like I was on vacation somewhere with a pool. And even though I can't afford to go anywhere now, for the price of a beer and some fish tacos, I managed to feel like I had.
