TWILIGHT

It is just about 4:30 and almost DARK !! Lord the daylight is certainly saving time.
I don't know about you but I want to hybernate and sleep long hours in a snuggy comfoter and watch DVD's and sip SPIKED hot chocolate.
I like to drop a sqaure of Dark 85% Coca into my concoctions with that chocolate liquer we have in thh cabinet, YUM!!
Went to Birthday gathering for friend Patrick last night and it was fun if the joint was, as most places are in this town...L O U D!
Saw friends and colleagues pictured here.
It was fun..walked from 53rd to 42nd & 9th and took a cab home. It was just past midnight and the after theatre and tunnel traffic were gons. Got home in no time..But the trip used to coast about $3.50..with tip it was $6.
These little changes in prices are to me similar to the slow boil you throw frogs into ...all of a sudden you are COOKED without even realizing it. AND what about a 25 cent Transit increase. OH COME ON. Have these greed mongers ridden the subways? OR WAITED FOR THEM? OR stood there on the 23rd St platform and read the CANCELATIONS each weekend.
we have lived in Chelsea for 30 years this coming summer and in the last decade the trains at the 8th Avenue stop either bypass the station or DON'T RUN on the weekends.
We had a memorial gathering in Brooklyn Heights and neither train that went to Clark St area was stopping or ruunning at 8th Ave & 23rd St. Of course we were late.
This area is so congested with people and traffic now it is unconscionable that more attention isn't paid to public transit. AND THEY WANT TO INCREASE THE FARES> W R O N G!!
The subway was 20 cents when I first got to NYC. And that was annoying!
AM going to see GLORIOUS ONES tonight at Lincoln Center tonight. I love Connedia dell' Atre and hope the reviews were wrong. It is such a colorful theatrical experience and I can't imagine Flaherty & Ahrens' music not being memorable. But who knows?
Just bought RATATOUIE and want to get in the mood to watch that as we can always use a good laugh.
The doggie in the pic is Yoshi and he belongs to pal Alan. They are both affable and sweet but Yoshi Licks better!
So I hear!
Hope you have all gotten the sweaters and gloves and scarves out. See you briskly about the Rialto!
