So yesterday was an unique day…and I say that in the literal definition: being the only one of its kind.
I woke up around 9am, ready for a full day in Long Island with my friend Jo (also, see if you notice the guy in her twitter profile pic). We got to Hicksville (yes, there’s a town called Hicksville) around 1 to my friend’s girlfriend’s parent’s house.
My buddy of 16 years, Neil, and his lovely girlfriend Ari handpicked a place for brunch called Citron in the neighboring town Roslyn.
(Note: Neil is in the middle and the Legendary BK on the right)
When we got to the restaurant, we randomly bumped into our friend from Philly’s Mom. Apparently, she grew up down the road and was in visiting an old friend. That sort of shit happens to me all the time, but it’s always a surprise and fresh experience.
When we finally sit down, Jo and I realized that Citron was one of those places that has soooo much tasty food to choose from that we can’t choose at all. All the more reason to go back I guess. Jo unconvincingly chose a burger and quickly got up to talk to the waitress. When she sat back down, I asked what she ended up picking, to which she replied, “I told her to choose a crepe for me as a surprise”. Overall, the meal was delicious, the conversation was enriching and entertaining, so when it came time to leave, I felt fulfilled in multiple ways.
On the ride back to Ari’s parents, she opened the sunroof to the car and Neil began to “play the wind” putting his hands up in the air and using the wind against the car as a percussion instrument…genius!!! I desperately wanted to try it out, so when Jo and I were leaving Rock the Bells at Jones Beach, we tried out dueling wind playing and shoddily attempted to film it using Jo’s almost-dead camera. It took us about 20 miles of going in the wrong direction on an open road to realize we were going the wrong way, but I don’t regret it because this rare opportunity of wind playing at 75mph was well worth the lost time and wasted gas.
So next time you’re bored on an open road, open your sunroof and try playing the wind (caution: driving and wind playing, although fun and exhilarating, is awesomely unsafe). If you don’t have a sunroof, steal a car with one or get a chainsaw and cut yourself one.
Next time I give it try, I promise there will be videos.
