I went out for my first ride in three weeks this past Monday. I popped out of bed, happy that it was a holiday and knowing that all of my responsibilities were suspended for the majority of the day. My mental fog must have finally begun to clear as the first thing that I thought of was... I'm going for a ride.
Armed with exactly no plan, we set out for a few hours on the island. It was one of those days were the road just seemed to pull me along without my consciousness having too much say in the matter. We cruised out passed Sag Harbor, through South Hampton and ultimately stopping to have lunch in Montauk. Hours literally evaporated from my day. It felt really nice to just roll along.
The Shagwong Best name for a restaurant, ever. Say it out loud. No, really. Awesome, right? Shagwong, shagwong, shagwong...

Driving along, I could smell the sweet stink of that two-stroke as it buzzed it's way along the Expressway, long before I could see Kenny.

Flight 800 Memorial

Wednesday night, we stopped at the TWA Flight 800 Memorial in Smith Point. It was very moving, very poignant.

Today, sadly the less than 8ft wide tunnel is riddled with really bad graffiti and garbage. You know, if you're going to be so bold as to paint on public viewable property.. it'd better be good.

New York Bunyan

Interestingly enough, this Bunyan Muffler Man has stood just a stones throw from my hometown for years though I've never had the chance to see him.
Yesterday we finally made the time to stop in to say, 'Hey Paul.' He is clearly well cared for, an excellent specimen.
