This morning I played Frogger on the way to work. No, I didn't have a PSP or anything like that. I decided to do it old school. For some reason I thought I could cross a four lane street, even with a green light working against me...during rush hour, mind you. I stood there, unable to move, trying to decide if I should "go for it" or if it would be safer to stay where I was. Luckily, I wasn't being timed so I decided to stay put in the middle of the road and dodged the cars as they drove by at different intervals. People I walk around the city with are always pulling me out of the way as cars whiz by. They keep telling me that I need to be careful. Maybe I should listen. Needless to say, I did make it to the other side...

Wow- what an adventure. I'm so glad you made it to the other side safely, and I'm glad I wasn't there to witness it! I tend to have panic attacks when I see people crossing the street these days.
Holy cow! I am glad that you are okay. See, I am so paranoid I just try to get around places staying on the same sidewalk..doesn't work very well. Be careful. By the way..you are darling. I love reading your posts!!!

That reminds me of George Costanza. You like to live on the edge don't you? That would scare me to death! You are a true New Yorker.
Malia! Thats crazy town, you sound like me obliviously walking through traffic like the cars won't hit you. Needless to say, you are hardcore.
Yikes! Do be a little more careful... we want you to stick around!
Sounds pretty crazy, are NY drivers worse than Utah drivers?!
