Birthday in the Big City


With all of the fantastic things leading up to today, it's hard to imagine just what the day will bring...but, I already feel loved, and that's hard to beat!

We started yesterday with a yummy breakfast in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn, and wrapped up the evening with not one, but two, fun shows. While in line for tickets to Billy Elliott, we were invited to the taping of David Letterman. So much for that leisurely dinner before our second Broadway show of the week, but what a hoot!



Billy Elliot was a great show to see on Broadway, and the cast even received a standing ovation (which, unlike at home, does not happen at every show here). I have to say one thing, though - I now have a whole new appreciation of the Hult Center in Eugene. The sound, seating, and quality of the road productions staged there rival what we are seeing here. How lucky are we?!

Ken continued his string of surprising antics this AM by stringing up Birthday banners in the kitchen,which made that first cup of coffee even better (and we all know how much I love my coffee). Off now to enjoy the further fruits of the Big Apple.
