Came across this gem as I was unpacking. I bought this book when I was 14 at a flea market in Charlottesville. I remember Lucy and I huddled around it, reading it over and over again, laughing and snorting. I’d like to think a large proportion of my sense of humor can be attributed to Jack Handey—at least the funny part. Here’s a thought:

I think a new, different kind of bowling should be “carpet bowling.” It’s just like regular bowling, only the lanes are carpet instead of wood. I don’t know why we should do this, but my God, we’ve got to try something!

There are few things I will miss more about New York than my walk to work every morning.

The Drawing Center’s young members group, On The Mark, visited Amy Sillman’s studio yesterday. I always feel incredibly privileged to see the space where art is created (this experience was a particularly fantastic birthday present!)

The 2011 New York Yoga Asana Championship is tomorrow evening at 7 pm at Lincoln Center (here’s Kyoka Katsura, the 2009 champ). Some of the best yogis in the city will be asked to complete 7 postures in 3 minutes. I like the idea of competing for poise and strength, but I won’t be at the event. Instead I’ll be home watching the Jets hopefully destroy the Steelers in an all out match up of brute force (which I also like).

…the Buffalo wings and artichoke dip probably tipped the scale on this one.

This is a Red Tailed Hawk perched on the railing of the building across from ours. I think it’s Lola, the estranged mate of Pale Male. She hasn’t been seen since December 18 and as such has been presumed dead.

This is a picture of the bathroom at the George Eastman House. I wandered around the mansion this afternoon surreptitiously snapping iphone photos when I realized that if ever there was a museum to unabashedly take pictures, this was it.

I learned that Eastman was a close friend of Thomas Edison as well as a philanthropist devoted to improving the world’s dental hygiene. He also invented roll film and was the first person to standardize photography equipment through his company, Kodak.

The word Kodak, he decided, “must not be derived in whole or part from any existing word… it must be short; incapable of being misspelled so as to destroy its identity; must have a vigorous and distinctive personality; and must meet the requirements of the various foreign trademarks.”

Umpire Jim Joyce ruined Detroit pitcher Armando Galarraga’s perfect game last June—a call that he now openly admits he made in error. Joyce endured months of death threats, nasty emails and subsequent security detail. Other people, like these Detroit airport baggage handlers, reacted differently. I’m thinking today about what it means to have character.
