COSMOS IN COLD SPRING?
WHY NOT DARLING!!.......

There ws a South African (white) guy on the train that took an instant like to Morpheus for some reason.  Maybe he's persecuted black people all his life and is now making up for it.  Anyway it was only 11 in the morning and he stunk of booze, so I was pretty rude and moved two seats back from where he was sat, Morpheus used the seat in front so  that he was in-between the two of us...yes he is a big softy and will talk to ANYONE that is pleasant to him.  Apparently the guy lives in the East Village and is an artist, struggling or not, I'm not sure.  Him and his doggy girlfriend plus homeless looking stoned friend and scruffy dog were going to Garrison for the weekend to help a friend build his house.   Those three didn't look like they could build a play house let alone a proper bricks and mortar one.....  Thank god though that they got off the stop before us, I couldn't of stood it any longer...

So Americans should be very proud of themselves this weekend...Tiger winning the British Open and Lance Armstrong the Tour de France...not bad guys, well done!!  On the other hand us Brits win NOTHING, never, except Wimbledon which we're glad to say we won back in 1963 by Fred Perry.....pathetic!!

So the Professor and Mary Anne welcomed us with opens arms as always, the house smelled of lovely fresh cut flowers and food stuff....yummy!!!  We met a guy called Ed who was an old friend of the Professors from Ohio, he was a nice guy, although he definitely looked cuter before he shaved and showered, definitely more rugged with his Ohio baseball cap on and loose fitting T-shirt, but hey what would I know. It wasn't only me either, Morpheus mentioned the same thing, that he was definitely more attractive the more scruffy he was....  Also Neil, Professors brother was there for the weekend, him and his appendage car.....HIS PORSCHE.  Actually it is a beautiful car, I wanted to drive it but Neil just laughed, a slight hysterical laugh, but definitely a chuckle!!!

So Professor has just bought for him and Mary Anne (yeah right, like it's not all for him) an SUV, not sure what type but you know who cares.  So the boys, (even Morpheus and he hates boyish things like this) went to the dealership to sign up the paperwork for Professors new toy.  This gave myself, Mary Anne and Carol (another friend) girlie time to ourselves, which involved browsing through antique stores and strolling through the very picturesque town.  OK enough crap and enough old stuff let's have a drink girls for christ sake.  We walked, well I ran, towards the lake where there's a restaurant with marquee and outside tables overlooking the lake.  It really is quite beautiful, especially after two Cosmopolitans.  The waitress actually served mine in a proper glass and not plastic cups like the girls got....phew, lucky me, I absolutely HATE AND ABHOR plastic cups, it just takes apart from the taste but the whole enjoyment out of a drink, not the same.  OK enough of that, so the girls got a bit fidgety and started calling their boys to see what was taking them so long.  Maybe I should of also been concerned but hey I was overlooking a beautiful lake, with a Cosmopolitan in my hand and very good company...who needs the guys, shit I didn't. But eventually we left, walked up the hill back towards the house, met the guys coming in also and then CAME BACK down the hill to the same spot and continued to drink...jesus talk about back and forth, they should of just left me there and caught up with me later....please!!!

Professor cooked a perfectly divine meal later on which consisted of chicken, corn on the cob, salad etc.  Just delicious, we then continued to stay up until the wee small hours (about 3:30 I think, not bad for us) and then completely crashed out.  I even managed to stay awake to have a little cuddle with Morpheus...not bad eh!!
