Well, Rose and Pearl got me out today....they convinced me I wanted to go to Coney Island. They even got me on a ride (just one!) We went on one like a ship and it swings...know which one? Rose got us sitting at the very last seat, the one where you are practically upside down when it hits one side of the arc of the swing...Pearl was clinging to my leg and weeping...Rose was practically leaping into the force of gravity with a look of ecstacy which frightened me way more than the ride (although it was scary for my old self). We had our swimsuits on under our clothes and though they tried they could not make me go under water at the beach. I just couldn't-wouldn't do it. It was a nice outing. We stopped in the Russian Stores and bought some sweets..Yum...

Hi!

I just went to Coney Island for the first time on Saturday! It's beautiful! (I didn't do any rides tho') I waded in the water, but I'm not that excited about swimming in it. Have heard some beaches were closed down last summer because the 'fecal content' was too high? Eek.
