Hello everyone! So I've finally landed on the blogwagon. The idea behind by blog name came from visiting San Francisco and going to this place called Squat & Gobble for brunch one day. They pretty much just serve egg sandwiches, albeit fancy egg sandwiches served on a fresh croissant with fruit on the side. It's a cafe restaurant with tables inside and out, and quite lovely. I realized we didn't have anything quite like that in my neighborhood, and dreamed of opening a 'Squat & Gobble East.' So, I guess this is the next best thing!

Some observations I had today:

1. A squirrel on East 7th Street was trying to make its way through the urban landscape, quickly scurrying past humans and darting under cars. Hope it didn't get picked on by any rats.

2. I got honked at at 8:10 in the morning by Dave, my co-worker who I work with every day in the field inspecting overhead signs on highways throughout Queens. He jarred me out of my thoughts and it quite annoyed me.

3. A man walked out his house in Flushing, Queens and made the sign of the cross three times in a row before venturing out to wherever he had to go.

4. There was a four-car smashup on the parkway because someone lost controll of his car. His (that of the guy who lost control) car was totalled and he had to get pried out of the car and brought away by ambulance. Talk about a bad day.

Jeff's sister has landed a job in NYC and living with us while trying to find a place. I don't know if I was ever happier for anyone I know doing that.
