Isaac ran the New York Marathon!
He totally did.
It was awesome, and Laura and I went out to cheer him on. This entailed us taking the subway for the first time since she left the womb. Thank goodness the train was full of sweet Midwestern out-of-towners who immediately forced me to sit down so I didn't fall with the baby. Then we waited for Isaac to appear, standing next to a group of rowdy Swiss ladies. We arranged to meet up at 110th and 1st ave (hence the subway ride) because it was supposed to be less crowded up there - Laura doesn't like crowds and loud noises... But she did pretty well even with the cowbell and crazy Swiss cheers (they were saying something that sounded like "Hop Suite! Hop Suite! Hop Suite!") Then we walked over to 5th avenue to see Isaac about 4 miles later and a lot more tired. Though he doesn't look any different to me in the pictures!
Not as tired:
More tired:
Too bad i didn't get any action shots of the guy actually running. Next time!
In other marathon news, I didn't see Katie Holmes or Lance Armstrong, but I did see Melissa Summers of Suburban Bliss (a blog-celebrity sighting!) and then right after that I saw Michael J. Fox and his wife. They were kinda easy to spot because of the "Team Fox" hats. Well, she wasn't wearing a hat, but Michael J. was. I never spot celebrities and Isaac always does (he saw Ricky Gervais in the park a couple of weeks ago) but it would help me a lot if they would wear name tags like this...
Okay, I'm wasting precious time when I should be sleeping - I'm starting to get a sleep debt, and I learned how that can make your iq drop like 50 points or something. Now that I'm back at work, my NPR listening has gone up approx 1000%. I should clarify that my sleep debt is really not the baby's fault, it's my own stupid fault for doing stupid things. Like last night Isaac and I watched Must Love Dogs (why oh why Stacy didn't I read your one star Netflix review sooner) until 12:30! Of course I had to be up at 6:30.
I have lots more to say on the topic of romantic comedies, but maybe I will pace myself and just try to blog more this month, since it's one of those Blog More months or whatever.
PS Laura Jane learned how to roll over from her back to her front! Here she is in progress:

He soes look a little slanted in the 2nd picture so maybe that's proof that he was more tired - couldn't keep from slanting to one side?
I can't believe you saw Michal J Fox!!! I have LOVED him since Family Ties. In fact, I think I've seen some of the worst movies ever made just because he was in them ("Light of Day" with Joan Jett). But he's still one of my all-time favorites. Loved his last sitcom Spin City. I'm so jealous!!
Now, have you seen all of his romantic comedies? Secret of My Success, Doc Hollywood, For Love or Money... I heart him. And Doc Hollywood is one of my favorite rom coms.
So cute! All of you.
