Work the pose Boston.  Don’t forget to SMIZE.  (Can you tell I’m watching America’s Next Top Model while writing this entry?)

Actually I made Boston look like some kind of crazy architectural rendering.  Again.  Well, Tom Menino isn’t coming to my door and telling me to stop, so I shall continue!

Let’s go:

As only nature can provide it:

But first we must have a story.  When I was a kid, my mother would take me to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden because she loves flowers and plants and other nonesuch.  Now admittedly I enjoyed seeing a venus flytrap but overall, I couldn’t understand why people wanted to spend an afternoon among these types of things.  Plants don’t talk and you can’t really play with them.

Now I am older, but probably not wiser, but I do realize that those types of places serve their purpose.  They are peaceful, lovely places to spend time with your thoughts.

And of course, take photos:

Young style edition.

Oh the young, so young that they don’t realize that they are young.  Literally thinking that their life is a large expanse of unending time that will never end….  And overuse of the word “literally.”

Well, they have something on us oldsters.  They have style.  Tons of it.  Not at all being sarcastic, but the way young people dress today is truly impressive.  There is a real preppie feel to what they do and it is always expertly coordinated.  I imagine, and I am not privy to this, but I bet a lot of young people photograph themselves in their outfits in the morning.  I just make sure that my clothes are (relatively) clean before I leave the house.  Age.

And of course there is a photo.  Yes, this person I do know.  Doesn’t make his outfit any less great:

It isn’t matchy-matchy but it all goes together.  And of course the accessory is kind of great too.  And here we get a bit more edgy:
