Better Than Real Because It's Not.

(Jul 9) To kill some time before dinner with Preed, I finally returned to Roosevelt Island.
Out on Long Island, What is this scary thing?
Destruction complete
Over to Roosevelt Island, the shell of Coler-Goldwater Hospital
Typical of work done by large contractors,
It’s the middle of the day, and no work in sight taking place
This is why it’s going to take years,
Everything takes forever when you’re not actually doing anything.
All this blocked off for the convenience of the construction that’s not taking place

(Jun 29) I’ve got around.
Now I can say I’ve been to the Boardy Barn
I remember these from my home in West Sayville
Atlas has displaced Romeo as the dog who spends the day with me

(Jun 10) They spend a lot of time in my bed.
And sleeping is their #1 pastime.

(May 28) I’ve passed through Northport hundreds of times on the LIRR, but today was the first time I set foot on Northport soil.
Northport Bay
It looks like any other Long Island marina
The village resembles Port Jefferson
Except Northport apparently had a streetcar
And there in the middle of suburbia… a farm
With goats
And chickens

(May 21) As soon as I saw Prime Ave, I knew I was back in the old hood. I lost my mainframe virginity in that neighborhood.
I didn’t recognize the area, just the sign
We used to come here to de-stress from writing code, at lunchtime
Always interesting to note WWI plaques always assumed there’d only be one world war
It’s like a little oasis
It’s surprising how much I don’t remember about the place
But the willows, those I remember
This place is geesey
These Long Island stone bridges are of a certain era
These are apparently an invasive species
But now we’ve pretty much seen it all
Time to go. Shall we do it again in another 25 years?
And finally, we arrive at the place of my former employment. The data center was where “Elite Sports Performance” is now. You entered through the two-story building to the left.
