In case I forgot

What I've Learned at School

Apparently if you cry enough times in class and in front of professors, you'll eventually get what you want.

Ordering from Del Taco

Michael to me:  Do you want my fries if I get some?
Me to Michael: No, I don't like their fries.
Michael to worker: I'd like a chicken burrito and a diet coke.
Worker to Michael: Would you like to make that a combo with fries?
Michael to worker: No, I don't like your fries.

Half Asleep

A Conversation between Michael and me while both are half asleep:


Michael: I'm dreaming about a Zombie Apocalypse.

Ashley: Did you have a gun?

Michael: No, I don't believe in  guns.

Ashley: You do if it is a Zombie Apocalypse.  Go find a gun.

Michael: Okay.


Then we both fell back to sleep.

Driving on the lot

Note to Self:

When driving a club car on the Paramount Studio lot, DO NOT go full speed when going over a speed bump.  Club cars do not have shocks.

Gun Control

Conversation about gun control between Michael and me:

Michael: I don't ever want to have a gun in our house. Unless there's a zombie apocalypse. It would just be fun to shoot zombies.

If you look carefully, you can see tape on the windows

Notes to Sandy

Closed Stores

More fallen trees

Electrical trucks working on getting power up and going

Small business owners know how to market

Below 25th Street, Whole Foods seemed to be one of the only stores with power...

Cinemas closed down

Empty Broadway

My signal was spotty.  Hard to send texts.

Lights getting ready to fill the streets at dark

Firefighters working hard.  All I know with this location was a guy did something in the basement with his own generators.  Some how it got the fire fighters to the apartment complex.  A guy standing buy kept saying "he was more interested in making money."  My imagination has gone crazy with that one...

Store with blown out window

Police directing traffic

Cemetery with broken tombstones

Lights in the financial district!

No electricity on 23rd street.  Flares to guide traffic.

The dark area is 25th street.  The light is halfway up the block to 26th street where power had been restored.

We made a friend during the whole thing.
