Not much to update from New York. Charlene went home last night, I think without regrets on leaving, now I'm down to business. We had a good visit with my grandfather on Monday, he's still giggling over having a "Fireman 1st Class Certificate" sent to him at 84, and has some good stories about a long life richly lived, so that was fun. Other than that, I think we're massively disappointed in this place. Went to the Guggenheim to see their "Moving Pictures" exhibit, and realized that this is a town that still takes postmodernism seriously, acclaiming the role of the critic more than the artist. We skipped seeing the various Broadway shows, when you're choosing between ancient (42nd Street) and Disney (The Lion King) smaller theater down in "the village" seems much more attractive. But even there, VaVaVoom Room would be a "monday evening" class performance in good old Ess Eff. I came excited, but frankly Atlanta has more going for it; chalk it up as another in the list of places I don't need to live.
