A New York minute (give or take a couple of days)
New York was lovely, even though my hostess and I had to fight our way through a stinging, heavy mixture of snow and sleet to get to the opera on Friday night. But we had a great time at The Pirates of Penzance, and then there was all manner of cooking and roaming around SoHo and Strand-browsing the next day. (We gave the St. Patrick’s Day parade a wide berth, much as we’ve studiously avoided Times Square on several past New Year’s Eves.)
I even squeezed in a brief but excellent blogger meetup with the redoubtable Jane Dark shortly after I got off the Chinatown bus. Ah, spring break. Why go to Cancun when you can go to icy sleety New York?
My goodness, I have never been called redoubtable before! Thank you!
It is such a pity that we couldn’t have had a whole week of the Wednesday NYC weather: balmy and 70 degrees.
It is also a pity that I had to make such a frakking dramatic exit. But we will have other meet-ups that are less chaotic.
