On Saturday, everything is possible!


I am sure that many working parents can relate to this feeling.  The work week is finished, you and your family have had a nice restorative sleep (hopefully), and its 8am on Saturday morning and the whole weekend is stretching out ahead of you.  Anything is possible at this moment.  You CAN clean the house.  You CAN take your child to the Brooklyn Children's Museum.  You CAN do all of the tasks that you have promised yourself that you would do all week, but never got around to doing.  You CAN write that blog post.  Everything is possible at this moment.

So let's ride this feeling as long as it lasts (which won't be long), and take a look at all the great things you could do today:

  • The Brooklyn Children's Museum (http://www.brooklynkids.org/) has several interesting events this weekend.  Blooming Babies: The Power of Love, explores how different cultures around the world express love.  The museum is also celebrating the Year of the Rabbit with events exploring Chinese New Year.  Admission is $7.50
  •  I know you've heard about the State of the Union, but how about the State of the Borough?  Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz put on quite a show this year, while at the same time outlining his strategic plan for our fair borough.  Read the address here: http://www.brooklyn-usa.org/Pages/State_of_the_Borough/stateoftheborough.htm , and see a piece of the action and the reaction here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWENczPbAgg
Finally, since this morning's post is about possiblities, what do you think is possible for Bedford Stuyvesant in 2011?  Share your hopes and dreams for the nabe in the comments below, and let's get this conversation started!
