In lieu of analysis, more pics from the city with a doggy spa and halal cart on every block.  


I saw a great show at the brand spankin' new Claire Tow Theater at Lincoln Center last night:  "Slowgirl."  I loved it.  And Victor Garber was among my fellow audience members -- known to all of us with teenage daughters as Professor Callahan from - what else - Legally Blonde.

Let me also add that Roger Rees and his partner were in front of me on line at a snack shop in the Theater District last weekend.  This is the tiny city where those of celebrity have no choice but to mix with those of my personal ilk.


I think my favorite element of this photo is the woman second from the right:
"Get out of my %*#-in' way," reads the practically visible thought bubble.

Some NY pics

I'm in my final days of a 2-1/2 week Hebrew ulpan program on the Upper West Side of NY and cramming in all the sights/neighborhoods/culture I can stand in the afternoons and evenings after class.  
No time to write, so here's today's photos from the Meatpacking District, the High Line (the newest, bestest NY thing) and Chelsea.

Enjoy!
Unfortunately I was in running shoes today.
All right, so I'm a dolt.

On the High Line:
note how the wooden lounge chairs roll along the former industrial track.

Am I too cool or what?


Behold:  my DC Metro Smartrip card AND my NYC MTA MetroCard
This Idaho girl's urban sophistication knows no bounds.
