Review: Jump
Angela, Kristin and I saw this Korean acrobatic group on opening night. The show was entertaining in a slapstick Abbott & Costello way but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you're into Kung Fu movies. The performers manage to make those slo-mo movie shots on stage live. A major disappointment was their not using any sort of 'real' sword--the ones we saw were paper and reminded me of Flat Stanley.

A September Weekend (9/21-22/07)
Why is it nearly every time one goes to the dentist we have a rude awakening about the state of our teeth? I have a periodontal pocket (the gum tissue of a back tooth is deteriorating), no crunchy, sticky, hot food for a week and I get a fancy toothbrush to clean the "hole"...man getting old is tough!
Mary & I drove up to see Liz in Pleasantville this afternoon. The initial plan was for apple picking and strolling farmer's markets but the driving rain limited the possibilities. After a delicious lunch of grilled pizza (must get the recipe from Liz), we visited Liz's haunts in downtown Pleasantville. We stopped by a 'one-of-a-kind' vintage boutique and thanks to Mary's sharp eye I found a bar mirror for the foyer entrance. The mirror is constructed of wood from turn of the century barn materials, and spindles.
I'll be sure to post a photo of it inside the apartment....

September 19: Lucy's Latin Kitchen
Tonight would have been my mom's 79th birthday. Bill and Kristin joined me in a toast to Mom at Lucy's Latin Kitchen (http://www.lucyofgramercy.com/). A flight of mojitos and tasty tapas to boot!
Happy Birthday Mom!
