"If you've walked around New York City in the weeks leading up to Easter Sunday, you may have come across a
two-and-a-half-foot-tall egg. It happened to me the other day. There's a large egg with a beige and brown shell
perched in the small park outside Fast Company's offices in downtown Manhattan, like a statue dedicated to a
fallen hero or a political figure. In truth, it's a temporary art installation: Egg Number 253.

299 more egg-shaped creations are scattered throughout New York City as a part of the second annual Fabergé
Big Egg Hunt. (Last year's event took place in London.) In the month leading up to Easter Sunday, Fabergé is
hosting a very big hunt of very big eggs, each one created by a different famous artist. The painter David Salle is
responsible for the sculpture outside Fast Company's offices. Other participating designers, artists, architects,
and brands include Tracey Emin, Mark Quinn, Zaha Hadid, Ronnie Wood, Peter Beard, Diane Von Furstenberg,
Marchesa, Olivier Theyskens, and Bruce Weber.

Like any Easter hunt, participants try and find as many eggs as they can. But unlike a typical backyard Easter romp,
the game extends throughout New York City's five boroughs, and participants "collect" their finds not in a basket,
but using Fabergé's Big Egg Hunt app. The person who locates the most eggs has the chance to win "precious
gemstone pendants" worth tens of thousands of dollars each, care of Fabergé."

The above eggs were photographed in Rockefeller Center.

The following photos were taken in May 2014.  On May 11th, Maria and I went on L&M's "Mother's Day Brunch
and Train Ride".   We had brunch in DeLorenzo's Italian Restaurant in Easton (Lehigh Valley), PA.  The food was
delicious but the restaurant was too small for the number of customers who showed up for the brunch.  

On May 18th we went to Flushing Meadows Corona Park for the Festival celebrating the 75th (1939) and 50th (1964)
Anniversary of the World's Fair.   There was entertainment, food, etc.

Update, July 21, 2020 - I have no idea what I ate.  I had written something but when
I reviewed this page today, what was written was not a complete statement so I
deleted and wrote this.
Fortunately no rain fell.
