happy easter! it was a spectacular day here in nyc. the skies were clear, sun was warm and the breeze was cool. after church this morning, alicia and i had a bite to hold us over until dinner. we went food shopping (at whole foods, which is quite the adventure on a weekend) and made dinner back at her apartment. we had bread and hummus for a starter/snack while cooking, an asparagus, lemon, and mushroom pasta dish. and ended with the well reknown Guinness chocolate cake. yes, i ate two pieces.

opera. i saw my first opera tonight. we got comp' tickets to don giovanni at new york city opera. i enjoyed it, but was glad to have someone much more educated in the subject to fill in or point out details i would have otherwise not picked up on. there were a couple mistakes i was surprised to see at that level, but enjoyable over all.

food stores. so, there is a whole foods in union square, thats been there for about a year. recenlty, a trader joe's also opened near union square. yeah!

go to church, live longer?

baptism. i'm godfather all over again after this weekend. on sunday d&s's son was baptized and a. and i spent the weekend with them. it turned out to be a great weekend as the weather was as beautiful as all the people that came to celebrate. will was really good all weekend considering all the new faces and excitement all weekend. hopefully he--and his parents--are getting some more peaceful rest during the week.
