Bugaboo AND Maclaren both ripped off!

Be on the lookout for a "tall woman with a small black dog" who was seen leaving our apartment lobby pushing our red Bugaboo, our green Maclaren Volo and someone else's $25 umbrella stroller stacked up. Just walked right out of building in broad daylight.

Our retired neighbor who walks her dog didn't stop the alleged perp, though she said she was wondering what was happening. Still, I guess it looked OK to our neighbor overall because she didn't say anything until my wife posted a sign in the lobby.

New Year Birds in Prospect Park

Origami 007
Originally uploaded by CraigKon

Was on my weekly Sunday afternoon run taken like a beast through the forest in Prospect Park, when I came across hundreds of origami birds. Because they were hung in rows from thin branches, they appeared to be flying in groups up towards the sky.

To find them, enter along Prospect Park SW and head to the jogging trail behind the ball fields. Can't wait to show Ariel assuming they're still around by next weekend.

Must be nice to have the deck space
