For Jan’s big six oh, she didn’t want a party, just a weekend in the City. (NYC to West Coasters who think of Baghdad by the Bay as “the” City…)
The logistics of a weekend away are daunting in our household. In fact other than for Zen meditation retreats and church related I’ve not been out of pulpit since August…
But we did it.
Yesterday ran about two and a half hours late getting out of Providence, had to make sure auntie, the cats & the fish were all ready for our absence. Auntie seemed ready for us to go, but the fish…
When we arrived the room wasn’t ready. Walked around Hell’s Kitchen. Visited for the umpteenth time a nice little flea market.
Walked some more.
A nap.
Went to see Billy Eliot. A moving production with astonishing kids in very complex parts…
Today museums and then dinner with old friends.
I kind of like this holiday thing…
