Susanah, Assistant Managing Editor

My husband’s birthday was last week—Happy Birthday Gary!—and we were meeting at a restaurant downtown for a big-fat-steak dinner. I had some time to kill beforehand, so I decided to walk the 20-or-so blocks rather than sit on my butt at the office and then jump on the subway. The weather was amazing, and walking really gave the chance to appreciate it. And close to my destination I came across a beautiful little park that I had sort of forgotten was even there. I still had some time, so I sat in the grass and read my book. I guess I could have kept walking, but sometimes you’ve just got to sit in the grass!
