It's Mandatory Die Hard Viewing Day Eve! "Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs ..." -- and go canoeing on Newtown Creek for a couple of hours. Yippee kai-ay!

I can't stress enough how important dressing appropriately is for this. Hopefully the sun will stay out, but be prepared!

With a low tide, we should be able to go into Dutch Kills. Last time, there were a couple of black-crowned night herons hanging out. There's also been a small flock of buffleheads on the creek, North America's cutest (and therefore most deserving of our love) duck.

Mandatory Die Hard Viewing Day Eve! Let's spend it on the creek!

Now I have a canoe. Ho. Ho. Ho.
