I am ever so slightly tired tonight, dear friends, but I don't mind. Today I took a day off from the box factory, my first vacation day from the box factory since my return from Arkansas seven months ago, to spend the day with my mom, who came up from Philadelphia to see The Gates while there were still gates to be seen. Walks were taken, Thai food was eaten, books were bought at Kitchen Arts and Letters, the ne plus ultra of food and wine bookstores.
Since everyone and their second cousin has an opinion on The Gates, I will refrain from adding to the cacophony. (Besides, I think that Julie's observations are much tastier than mine.) I'll just say that I take back all of my pre-Gates snarking of Christo and Jean Claude. It really is pretty neat to see up close.
Thanks, everyone. It was indeed a neat day.
Julie, I have still have Sala Thai on my restaurant list. We didn’t make it there yesterday; my mom ended up on a late train due to traffic between Phila. and Trenton, so we had lunch before we went to The Gates. We went to Red Garlic on 8th Avenue and 55th Street, where I used to go a lot when our office was on Broadway and 57th Street.
