Recent Sightings, Second Edition

And now for some less ridiculous and much more real sightings.

First, I spent a week hanging with the Swaziland delegation here for the U.N. And by "hanging with" I mean I walked past all of their cars and drivers each day on my way to work. They were all staying at the Mandarin Oriental across the street from my office, and, I'll tell you what, their drivers seemed like a great crowd. So I bet that the actual delegation (those from Swaziland and elsewhere) were pretty great too. And you KNOW how I feel about political scientists.

LOVE them!

In the park, back in September when it was actually fall not winter, we spent an afternoon sitting on a bench next to the Park Bench Philosophers. This is a group of old-ish men who spend their weekends in Central Park brown-bagging it with Coors Lite, discussing all of life's greatest questions, and making fun of people that pass by. Our kind of people.

One such passer-by was a dude with so much hair that he had to carry it around in a garbage bag slung over his shoulder. As he approached, we were like "Awesome. Another guy carrying around a bag of trash." But then he got closer and it was clear that the bag was in fact full of the hair still growing out of his head.

It really doesn't get much better than that.
