Back from the Big Apple

If you read this blog regularly, you know we haven't posted for a few days. That's because Judy and I were spending some time in New York City.

While there, we attended a concert at Carnegie Hall where 21 different music stars performed 1 song each from The Rolling Stones' greatest hits LP Hot Rocks and a still-in-previews Broadway production of the political play Gore Vidal's The Best Man with James Earl Jones and a host of great TV and film actors. We also viewed Twin Peaks' director David Lynch's 1st solo NYC art show since 1989, 3 exhibitions at the MoMA including Diego Rivera murals, and an exhibit on British Romantic poet Percy Shelley and his wife Mary, the author of Frankenstein, at the NY City Library.

Tales, Tidbits, and Tips
I like New York. Judy doesn't. She says its dirty, costly, and crowded. But there is an energy there unlike any other American city and there are many things you can only see and do in New York.  However, when it comes to living, we both prefer the DC area. It's less crowded, it's cleaner, and, with all the free museums, book talks, and concerts, it's definitely cheaper.
