Yay, Nancy Pelosi!  Yay, Obama!  Yay, Bart Stupack, even!  Happy again.  Proud again.  Health care at last.  Yes, it'll have to be fixed.  At least we have something to be fixed.  It will be fixed.

We're looking at the Coffee Shop, an American/Brazilian restaurant known for its beautiful servers.  It's been here since 1990, so the initial buzz has faded, but it's still busy all the time.

Today the whole world was out, everyone congratulating themselves on their good fortune to be out on this glorious first day of Spring.  I had a coffee date in Union Square this morning, and afterwards I walked 16th Street to the Hudson and back on 15th.

KittyKind, an all-volunteer cat rescue and adoption group, was set up here on Union Square West, attracting a steady stream of mostly female visitors.

Men, a sure-fire way to get in good with a woman is to be friendly to her cat.  You don't have to be sappy, just give him a pat and say hey, there, Buster, in a man-to-man sort of way.  If it's a female cat, you should adjust.
