Just checking in from D.C. Back from Witches of Eastwick, which had a slightly long first act but the second act went like gangbusters. Take 15 minutes off this show and I'd bet they've got a smash hit.

I didn't get a chance to say hello to Ms. Skinner or Ms. Noll on behalf of BK (or to Jackie Piro on behalf of Skip) because we ended up being in a rush to get Milla to the train station back in D.C. and she made the earlier train with barely ten minutes to spare.

Julie and I will see Dead Man's Cell Phone tonight, and possibly get a late dinner. Then possibly Shear Madness at Kennedy Center or the naked Macbeth at the Shakespeare theatre tomorrow. Then home tomorrow night.

Does anyone know if the Spy Museum is interesting? (It's right near our hotel, and that's intersting in itself, but is it worth \seeing?)

and the backyard from another viewpoint. It is really nice.

After seeing the home environment of DR Jose, we hopped the subway to a different part of Harlem. Here is a shot of it. You can see the Apollo in the background.

Another shot of Harlem before we headed back on the train to.....

MBarnum · « **Reply #304 on:** July 07, 2007, 03:39:49 PM »

Back in Manhattan, Madison Avenue to be exact, as we made our way to Central Park. I don't know how this jogger got in front of my camera. I think he spoiled the shot, don't you?

MBarnum · « **Reply #305 on:** July 07, 2007, 03:42:44 PM »

This is, of course, what the shot should have looked like. And once I cleaned up the drool and revived Jose I got a perfect photo.

MBarnum · « **Reply #306 on:** July 07, 2007, 03:43:58 PM »

Jose leading me ~~to temptation~~ to the entrance of Central Park.

MBarnum · « **Reply #307 on:** July 07, 2007, 03:45:50 PM »

The infamous reservoir. Jose takes many jobs, er jogs, here.

MBarnum · « **Reply #308 on:** July 07, 2007, 03:47:26 PM »

Jose's kindness knows no bounds as he offers to take a photo of a very nice tourist couple from Washington D.C.

MBarnum · « **Reply #309 on:** July 07, 2007, 03:49:37 PM »

After a lengthy walk around the reservoir we made our way to this castle like place.....

...where a modeling session was being shot....

MBarnum · « **Reply #310 on:** July 07, 2007, 03:51:45 PM »

Here we enter a place in the park known as The Ramble. It was a very nice nature area with lots of wildlife and bears.

MBarnum · « **Reply #311 on:** July 07, 2007, 03:55:57 PM »

Especially for DearReaderLaura and DR Sandra, the ceiling of the Bethesda Terrace structure. Although not a casino, I am certain that there have been many games of chance played inside that structure over the years.

MBarnum · « **Reply #312 on:** July 07, 2007, 03:57:38 PM »

And opposite the terrace is the Bethesda fountain and the lake. If you look closely you will notice a film crew setting up behind the fountain.

MBarnum · « **Reply #313 on:** July 07, 2007, 03:59:52 PM »

After leaving the park we headed over to Park Avenue where I finally found my future home.

MBarnum · « **Reply #314 on:** July 07, 2007, 04:02:23 PM »

Jose and I soon parted and I made my journey back to Rodzinski's to pick up my luggage and await Gudda to drive me to the airport.

It was a great trip guys and I thank all of you New Yorkers for making it so much fun and for you out of towners for adding even more enjoyment to my trip! Take care and hope to see all of you at a future HHW gathering soon!

I'm older than BOTH of you, curse the luck. I guess that makes me an ancient fogey.

So there are THREE old fogeys hanging around HainesHisWay.

I just got caught up on today's posts. I have to say, there was a lot of besmirching going on earlier..... oh yes, besmirching!

I merely agree to provide protection for dear DR Jose while he has his "sidewalk picture" taken, and I'm accused of all manner of lechery. Well, I never!!.......OK, almost never...... I was merely shielding dear Jose from unseemly gazes and keeping strong winds from blowing his back.

And as for my pic in front of the Paramount building, my shirt did have pink in the pattern but it was pretty subtle and hard to see. You can ask Jose or Jason -- I had run out of all of my other pink shirts by that last morning.

Oh..... and from earlier in the day: 2 of the least satisfying desserts to waste the effort (and calories) on..... baked Alaska and Floating Island.

Just give me my table at The Little Pie Company, with a Levain chaser !

And the word of the day is: PHILTRUM!

Casey would waltz
With a strawberry blonde,
Whose PHILTRUM was covered with a bit of LIP THRUM
(also known as a moustache).

(Thrum being defined as a fringe, when used as a noun.)

(I figured that since others are returning, Casey might make a renewed appearance as well.)

Der Grampa and I have returned from the moving picture theatah, where we took the grandlads to see Ratatouille. Very enjoyable, even for the older grandlad who doesn't like food.

Jason suddenly realized how many points we all just consumed, while Jose requests a third helping, please.

All the photos & captions are wonderful. The building shots are beautiful & your story telling very entertaining. Dear dog) & Elmore looked comfortable on the couch.

This photo of Jason, well….the expression is priceless.

DR George - thanks for sharing your role and photos with us!

DR MBarnum...you make me blush! Your travelogue was the highlight of my day!

George, fun photos of you in costume. I enjoyed the sets as well.
