Bethesda Fountain Angel Protects New York Giants

Early this morning walking through Central Park, I asked the Bethesda Fountain Angel to fly out to San Francisco today to watch over the Giants during their NFC Championship game. The angel agreed on one condition, I have to lay off Hellman’s mayonnaise for one week. I asked her to give me a few minutes to think about it. 

I headed for Sailboat Lake where I saw Fifth Avenue upside down in the water, then I strolled over to The Boathouse and spied the Ice Queen sipping ice tea at a cafe table, then I returned to Bethesda Terrace and told the Angel, “OK."

Before lifting off, the Angel promised to closely watch our punter today figuring the game will be a chess match over field position. The Angel plans to open an old fashioned party line for the Giants secondary so they don’t miss assignments. 

As the Angel flew away, I shouted, "Go Giants!"

She curled one wing back towards me, then cleared the trees heading west.

Bird Meeting at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park

Feeling lousy today, seven days into strep throat without improvement. It’s cool and rainy outside, my mind is wandering. I found a picture I took of two pigeons flying into each other in front of the angel at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park. Here it is with a few other Central Park pictures.

I’m putting on an Lp record, “Dark Side of the Moon” and letting my mind drift where it will.

Who knows which is which, and who is who?
