Back.

[mayhap]

I dropped my mom safely at LaGuardia a couple hours ago. She can no longer drag me out to buy one last thing for my room, nor can we do any more fun touristy things.

We went to the Cloisters and basked in all the pretty flowers and had a nice lunch and took blurry no-flash pictures and went on two tours, the mayhap tour and the actual docent tour, and we went to Coney Island and waded in the Atlantic, her up to her ankles, me up to my neck, and had Nathan's hot dogs and ate cotton candy as we went up on the ferris wheel.

I saw a woman on a Segway on my way back from the airport, out with the traffic on Lafayette (I don't think they're even allowed on the sidewalks). People sort of picture them and gloss them as "goofy little scooters", but she was standing out there like a figurehead in the breeze, waiting on the light and making everyone trapped behind their wheels in their oversized, under-utilized vehicles look silly.

My roommate and her boyfriend are lying in bed awake behind me, which is making me feel nervous.
