Wow, that sounds like a wicked Orange Julius (which we never had around here in the NYC area).

Yesterday we took da chimpz to the Bronx Botanical Gardens to see if we could snap some holiday photos -- something to insert in our Christmas cards. They also had the toy train spread out again for a members-only weekend. In fact, it wasn't just members-only access -- visitors got a free coffee-maker. Yeah, really: crowds of people milling around holding big boxes containing a strange counter-top device that serves up single-servings of nasty coffee. We know. We took one home and I made a cup this morning. Yech-o.

Anyway, once we got the boys to settle down and stand still we got some decent shots. It always takes a while, since one or the other always seems to be wearing a ridiculous expression.

Anway, we think we got the shots we need for the Christmas cards. The weather was nice yesterday (not like the cold rain we're getting tonight). And since we were there in late afternoon, we caught a bit of the golden hour. So some of the photos came out pretty well (or at least, parts of some photos came out well).

I saw Andre tonight for some bone-chilling spine-crunches and all-around quality-time. He hooked me up with the massage therapist. So I'm feeling loose tonight. Let's see how long that lasts.
