The Incongruous CityMrs L sees and hears it on the streets of ManhattanMonday, June 1 The last day of May was spectacular. It was in the mid 70’s, clear, blue and bright. At 4 in the afternoon, Mr. L and I went to a performance at St. Ann’s in Brooklyn of Cynthia Hopkins’ "The Success of Failure (Or the Failure of Success)", directed by our friend D.J. Mendel. It was wild, dark, inspiring and quite brave. Afterwards, we walked back to Manhattan over the Brooklyn Bridge, along with a few hundred other people out enjoying the gorgeous spring day. Mr. L was taken by a fancy in the middle of the bridge and stopped to kiss me, with the skyline and the East River as backdrop. We got in a taxi and went to one of our favorite old-time French bistros, and a jazz combo was playing when we walked in. The door of the restaurant was open to the breeze and the light was scattering across the hundred-year-old floorboards. After dinner, we walked out into a beautiful fading sky, and walked the ten blocks home. It was kind of a perfect day, one which makes you happy to live in New York, where there is art, architecture, history, rivers, French cuisine, jazz music, antique buildings and romance at every turn. previous | next | back to main page |

I’ve been reading your blogs, comments, etc. What a wonderful writer. I’ve only been to NYC once. I loved it. I revisited just now in your writings… thank you… isn’t it wonderful to be in the city with all it has to offer and with someone you love and who loves you right back…. could life be any better?

Could not help but jot a note to MS. Taylor who saw you in Napa. I wanted to see that show, but living in Iowa, I went to Illinois. The show at Dominican U. was breathtaking in it’s honesty and sincerity.
