Workout and library

There's a heatwave here.

It was a gym day, which meant I did my morning stretches in the locker room (air conditioned) rather than at home; tonight's will not be fun. I exercised a while, stopping when my elbow started to hurt. Lunch was salad and pad thai at a place on Ninth Avenue that has excellent air conditioning.

After lunch, I took a crosstown bus (it's that hot, and the bus stop was in the shade and breezy) and went to the Mid-Manhattan Library, largely because it's air conditioned and has chairs. I sat and read for a while, then came home with two paperback novels, and have been wandering between this computer and the air conditioned bedroom. I'm considering the Museum of Natural History for tomorrow: it's handier to the A train.

Dinner is likely to be salami sandwiches, just because they require no cooking; I bought a small loaf of rosemary bread with this in mind.

Cooler near the water

It occurs to me that a boat on the harbor might be cooler than the beach.

I have checked and the new Staten Island Ferry boats have outdoor seating. I may spend part of tomorrow riding back and forth on the ferry (probably without apples and pears), maybe with a side trip on the Staten Island Railroad just because I've never ridden it.

If anyone is interested in joining me, let me know and I may try to coordinate with you. Or I may decide that sitting in the Museum of Natural History is simpler.
