after taking my dad to the Tenement Museum
Is it good? I'm sort of obliged to check it out if I'm ever in NYC, it seems that the building was owned by my great-great-grandparents in 1906 and 1907.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The Cash Cab has dropped off passengers at the Tenement Museum several times. I've seen it on some Travel Channel show--it looks really interesting. The book I've got on loan from the bookstore is called "Discovering Jacob Riis," so it's all about that era in NYC.

I'd like a Tenement Museum!
I've GOT to get up early tomorrow. Don't want to. Already.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've been to the Tenement Museum a few times. I think it was Hebrew school field trips. I remember it as being pretty interesting.

I remember visiting a place on a house tour. The address was an alley. It was early 1800s 3 floor + basement. Very cute, VERY small and tight. Pretty much 2 rooms per floor, if that. Great bones but I couldn't imagine living there, even as just me and cats (it had 4 resident cats who didn't give a shit about all the strangers passing through.) And a whole huge family probably inhabited it back in the day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is so awesome! Water jetpack may be man's greatest invention to date
Somebody tell me where I can get one of these. RIGHT. NOW. Seriously, how awesome is this? It's a jetpack, but it uses water to propel you in the air. You're tethered, but can still get pretty high/far, and you just drop into the water if something goes wrong. It solves all of the problems of regular jetpacks!
If they put this thing up for sale, it'd be the ultimate toy of the lake mansion set. Inflatable trampolines? Please, those are for poor people. The real fun is with water jetpacks. Seriously, I want one so, so badly.
