The way to world peace.

Since I am indisposed with (self-diagnosed) TB, I will share with you this charming military ritual. I think if all armies were required to do this all the time it might bring about world peace (through everyone laughing too hard to shoot).

Where I've been

NEW YORK was visited.

Gritty urban things

like subway acapella singers

and buildings with populations larger than our entire borough

were looked at with awe.

Family was bonded with

including a

new cousin

and a new kitten.

Outstandingly authentic

Chinese food

was eaten and ecstatically appreciated.

A child was completely

worn out.
And her mother too.
Mission accomplished.
