Governors Island: Another Time
On May 31st Governors Island opened up to the public for the summer. Today we took our push-bikes on the free ferry and crossed over the river into the Jazz Age. Michael Aranella and the Dreamland Orchestra were playing to an authentic and beautifully turned out crowd as we arrived.
Most of the old island homes are open for you to wander through.
There is also an outside sculpture exhibit presented by the Sculptors Guild, which has to be seen in amongst the grand and empty architecture.
It is amazing how much open space you can enjoy on the island. Picnic on the abandoned golf course anyone?

Brooklyn Bridge Birthday
In the lead up to the 125th birthday celebrations this week we stumbled upon the 1981 Ken Burns PBS documentary on the Brooklyn Bridge. It is available on the watch-on-demand service from Netflix.

Irrational Delay
The Lady BIB has two pieces in Slate's special issue on procrastination: "Procrastination Lit" explores great books with lollygagging protagonists, and "It's All in My Head" plumbs the difference between procrastination and writer's block, using Ralph Ellison and Truman Capote as case studies.
