Yesterday, I got to the Hudson Valley and I hiked around Nuclear Lake with my old hiking buddies Kathy and Becky, along with some new fry who got lost on the way to the train head, but did manage to show up before we left with out them. Nuclear Lake is very pretty and fairly isolated. Years ago we had a surprise birthday party there for Kathy and saw a beaver paddling by our picnic spot, so yesterday I declared that we had to see a beaver! Although there is lots of evidence on this hike of busy beavers in the form of broken sticks and dams, I don’t think we’ve actually seen a beaver since... until yesterday! It was off in the distance, and unmistakeably something that could have maybe been a beaver. I am going to call that close enough :)

I'm now in Omaha, Nebraska. I read that this was the largest city in Nebraska, but from what Kathy had been telling me all these years, I half expected it to be a pub with three cows parked out in front. It is, however, a fairly large city. I drove through five states yesterday. Most of which I had never been to before.

The only thing worse than taking the 1:20am out of grand central is missing the 1:20am out of grand central, because there aint another train until six or something. So Kathy's friend Sally came to New York and they decided to have dinner and see a show, and I got invited along with a random allotment of other people.

"So anyone we know gonna be there aside from Nam?" I asked Kathy on the way to dinner where we were meeting Sally and the rest of the crew.

She explained that Sally was going to be there, and Sally's ex-girlfriend and the girl Sally was dating now... I felt like asking if there were going to be any strait women there, but that might be rude. Dinner was excellent. Two of our random crew with was a couple of blond Swedish women working for part of a company which did not get bought out by The Company. They were both spoken for, but I enjoyed chatting with them about different cultures and different places anyway.

Then we went to The Donkey Show, which was essentially Mid Summer Night's Dream without the high-falutin' Shakespeare-speak set in a disco... only the audience dances in the disco with the actors. Oberon's gal was completely naked from the waist up except for two strategically placed butterflies, if you take my meaning. There were equally scantily clad men in the production as well, for those of you who prefer that. The cast mingled in character with us as we waited to get in. I highly recommend it if you like fun and don't enjoy things that aren't fun.

After the show the disco continued and I kept dancing with my friends until at 12:45am, when I decided to make a dash and catch the last train. I wish I could have stayed longer, because the thumping of the music and the dance floor was calling me. I said my goodbyes and hailed a cab. As I write this I am on the train to Croton-Harmon stoping which stops at all local stops. Switch to the Poughkeepsie there, which gets me to Beacon and home at something like three in the morning. I am going to be soooo tired tomorrow.
