as Joel and Ben
hung by the tree and Sarah and Amv
showed their strength and Amv
her power sources so that we could find Steven Just
at the Rusty Scupper parking lot and begin the trip towards the
Lincoln Tunnel
heading towards EZ Pass
and into the lanes
and eventually to the city
where out help was needed and the city traffic
hardly needed this traffic cop
as we took our ticket
and got in line
to leave the car so that we could go to the restaurant
where Seva and Peter
settled in and after my missed shot
I captured Steven and Sara
and Suzanne
and then took this self portrait
before the apple martini
and cosmo
from the waiter
made the appetizers
look so good as the pepper waiter
brought a last appetizer
that set Peter off
before the main courses.
After capturing my main course
in the dark, I lit up Steven's
and Suzanne's
and my cheese
and the Kramers
in some order before we said good bye to the waiters
who will be looking for their picture on the web and posed
outside the restaurant
while admiring the girl across the street
for her hair and cell phone before walking to the play
which was enough to amuse Steven
as we began the walk back and Sara chatted on the phone
while Suzanne and Seva
chatted and Peter
fiddled so that I could take this self portrait
and then this elegant shot of an inspirational sign
before checking out the bathroom sign
and having my iced decaf coffee
and pastries
that couldn't wake up Suzanne
even as Peter brought me photos
that wouldn't take in the light.
