Great to see you. I did drive down to a train station I thought would have parking spots for late morning trains, giving myself an extra 20 minutes to find one. Just as I was about to give up (and consider driving to the City), I found one in the most remote area and hoofed it to the train station.
Many times I pick my apparel based on how quickly I have to sprint to the train station after the show, and this one was going to be close. I felt like the worst dressed person in NYC (especially since I arrived at lunch hour where everyone was out in their business clothes). An easy way to spot a tourist is because they wear sneakers. The economy must be drying up because there were not many sneakered folks... leaving me sticking out. Funny, I found the most casually dressed folks in the theatre district.. thank goodness!
You're right. The energy is always pulsing and the weather was gorgeous, something that is invigorating by itself. On the train ride there I connected with an incredible woman who I feel very blessed to meet. What a beautiful soul.
The matinee was very fun, though I was sitting behind a guy with the biggest head stuck on the bulkiest shoulders. I spent a lot of time moving like a pendulum to see the show, but it was still great.
I left the evening performance of "The Tale of Two Cities" after the intermission with great regret to make the train since the show started so late due to technical difficulties. The men had gorgeous resonating voices that melt you like butter. But man, although lots was happening, it felt like it went at such a slow though heavily condensed pace.
Today is picking up, drapes being hung and getting ready for my mom to stay for a few days.
My posting is down because I've been busy. I've had some big ups and downs but am working on avoiding the near occasion of drama.
I could fall asleep at the keyboard but must rally and be oh so productive.
