The cookies are in the refrigerator. I got home around 11:15pm last night and Anthony was abed, sound asleep so I did not open the crinkly white bag to partake of the wonders of Levain.

Thanks for asking :D

I did have my oatmeal this morning, with two dried apricots and raisins. The bowl is washed, the coffee is drunk and I'm back to Otto Bremer.

I had a wonderful time last night. I do wish I was able to spend more time with the gang but the time I did spend was (as Spencer Tracy once said) "cherce"

The show was great fun and DH Richard (Palmer) got to make his NYMF New York Theatre debut as the Brain Tap Victim. The Brain Tap number was a hoot. It's good to see  great tap dancing so close up.

Travel vibes to everyone leaving our fair city. I finally got to meet Dear Mother Karen, though her son was pretty busy being congratulated on his stellar performance as Zubrick so I was not able to officialy meet our "star in the New York firmament"

It occurred to me this morning that I could have just gone in and changed my passwords on those accounts and it would have prevented the other computer from downloading the mail, but at this point I may as well leave things as they are.

I worked on Saturday, came home and defrosted the freezer, had dinner and went to bed. Sunday we got up and went grocery shopping (funny how you can't eat if there isn't any food in the house). We go to two different stores because Trader Joe's doesn't have everything we want/need. So after going to TJ's we put the groceries away and then toddled off to Western Been for the remainder of our shopping. We came home, had veggie burgers and salad for lunch and then I laid down and slept for two hours.

I left early for my Brain experience because I was going to stop at the main post office which is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I wanted to mail out some CDs to certain Left Coast friends. Unfortunately, the line at the post office was larger than I've ever seen it, at least an hour (I'm not kidding) so I continued walking uptown and got to the theatre very early. I picked up my ticket and then walked around the neighborhood. I passed The Little Pie Shop and saw a friend (not Jose, not MusicGuy and not Singdaw) buying some goodies so I stopped in and we had a little catch up. She then walked me over to the theatre where I met the denizens. And a good time was had by all.

That, dear readers is the Reader's Digest version of my weekend.

And now, Mr. Bremer is calling my name.

Yes, Ant was disappointe that he didn't have a chance to see anyone. We may be able to see Ginny and Richard (they are here until Sunday the 7th) but the next time we will be sure to see everyone.

Oh, yes, I didn't mention it, but you have a great niece!

Good Morning!!  What a great weekend!   Poor Vixter hasd to get up at 6;30 AM for school and due to constuction work being performed on the LIE (Long Island Expressway)  it took us 1 1/2 hours to get home... a mere 40 mile drive... the really annoyingthingis that there was no trafic to speak of gettingout NYC and I made it to within 7 miles of home in about 30 minutes... the last 7 miles is what took an hour,  had they posted signs about the closure a few exits earlier we would have had the option of taking a different route

The rest of the weekend was wonderful


Saturday we drove in with WFO and Joe and saw The Last Starfighter,

The show is wonderful, sweet, funny and the actors/characters are "real".   There are so may shows when you notice the acting, "My, what good acting"  you think... these people seemed like  "real folks" just telling you a story, the costuming, makeup and hair all supported thatidea,  these were people you might meet in the supermarket or laundromat and sit and have a coffee and share a chat with.

The story itself is sweet and fun and the songs (as most of you already know) are wonderful.  I hope that Starfighter reaches the audience it deserves and no one is put off by the lukewarm review of that fella who just didn't "get" it...

BK met us at the theatre and afterwards we all met up with Ginny,  Richard, Cilla and her very lovely niece Sam,  and shared a meal at the Westside Cottage where many delicous chinese dishes, including the famous cold sesame noodles were consumed

Guest  apprearances were made by Ms. Karen and that star of two coasts, Mr.Cason Murphy...



Afterwards we went across the street to Amy's Bread where we discovered *gasp* that there was no more Monkey Cake... all sold out!



We, of course, blamed Jose.

DR td - A couple of friends of mine saw "Eastern Promises" this weekend too, and raved about it.  *They also talked about Mr. Mortensen's "Viggo".  ;)

A truly harrowing scene, captured perfectly by the director and his editor . . .his "Viggo" also appeared in THE INDIAN RUNNER, many many moons  ;) ago. . .

Josh.  I still recall nothng about the events as described in the phone call, DR FJL.  However, I will play Sherlock Holmes and learn what I can.  

Good morning, all! I actually slept eight hours last night and I'm feeling quite good but down that the nymf activity for such a wonderful group of folk is now a thing of my past.

I'm glad to see DRS vixmom,  Der Brucer and SWW are safely home, that DRs Cason and Miss Karen may now be en route, that DR cillaliz and the lovely Samantha are packed and ready to go.  I will call DR William Orr shortly to tell him and Joe goodbye; I feel I hardly saw them and they are such good men.

I will hie myself to the NYPL this afternoon, stop by Chelsea Music to thank them for their excellent Plaza work and hit the 4:30 Plaza rehearsal.  A good time will be had by all, I hope.

Good morning!

It continues cool in the mornings here (51 this morning) and highs supposed to be only the low 80s, so very tolerable and quite nice. The five day forecast promises more of the same.

Sad to say, no rain at all in 18 days, and we're in such severe drought conditions now that all watering has been banned.
