another fabulous weekend...

despite the depression i'm coping with (again) as a yankees fan, the weekend was marvelous.

apple picking with the lovely ale upstate. the leaves are turning, the sun was out, the air was crisp and it was just beautiful. not to mention we got some of the best apples EVER. however, eating about five each in the course of the day has me so sick of apples i can't even look at the bag i brought home with me.

ALSO saw the loves of my life on stage together. had a prime seat right up front and it was amazing. the most classic line of the afternoon (paraphrased until it goes up on audible.com):

jon stewart: you know, i feel bad for ann coulter.

david remnick: (laughing and shaking his head) no you don't.

js: no, i really do! seriously! because, you know, once you start insulting wives of september 11th victims, you've really painted yourself into a corner. i mean, where do you go from there? it seems to me the only thing left for her to do is to dig up mother teresa's remains and stick a dildo in her eye socket.

the kicker? he proposed to his wife using a nytimes crossword puzzle (with the help of will shortz). a man TRULY after my own heart. why oh why does he have to be jewish? and married? with children?
