New York, New York, a hell of a town..



We had a big ole storm in NYC Wednesday night and knocked out Harry's wireless, so , i could not post BUT, a unlike that falling tree, fun was had without blogging!
We were all a little fuzzy Wednesday morning... we saw in the Jewish New Year with several bangs.. or was that shots. Harry had to go back to work and Neil and I went over to Time Square to hit the TKTS for a matinee. 
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. Very funny, very BIG.. lots and lots going on, things go up and down, explode, big big cast. All singing, all dancing, big big show. Sort of the exact opposite of Gypsy that we say the night before. I'm sticking with Patti, but Young Frankenstein was fun. That was my very first matinee musical. I had been to some straight plays on Wednesday afternoons, but never a musical. Wow, the average age was three days older than Baseball. John McCain would have been the whippersnapper. The Hilton Theater is a BIG place, with a very low slope going down to the stage. The most heard comment of the day was " watch your step"/ " do you need help" Old people are fun.
After the show we went down to one of my favorite little shops but what I wanted had gone off sale! , and I am Mr Thrift. It was starting to rain, So, we just went back to Brooklyn, swung by the fablous new Trader Joe's and got some dinner for me to cook. Stayed in, watched our stories. 
Woke up this morning to FALL!  The temp dropped like 20 degress over night. Bright and sunny, a lovely train ride out of Grand Central and then a drive home through the Leather Stocking and all... 
VERY VERY VERY HAPPY TO BE HOME, as always.
