Sleet, Sleet (and lots of snow, too!)
“Winter Medly”, what the hell is that? Well apparently it is a mix of rain, snow, and sleet (THIS is what sleet is for you Californians). We’ve already had a few snow storms and the kids love it.
and yes, there are real snow flakes:
Looking forward: Have a safe trip out to NYC: Joe, Rona, DJ, Irwin, Kris, and Frank! Can’t wait to see you all.
Merry Christmas to everyone reading this blog!!!! We love you all from NYC 
Where does Daddy go everyday?
The kids make their way to Manhattan, and to my work specifically.
Happy Birthday Joanne!
It’s Joanne’s Birthday today!
Nutcracker @ Lincoln Center
So for Joanne’s bday, Natalia got us tix to watch the Nutcracker at Lincoln Center in Manhattan. Its was our first time at the venue and it was beautiful. It had just snowed/sleeted so all around was snow and icicles. Joanne loved the ballet while I was having a tough time with the first part of the ballet – it just dragged. During intermission I decided to go outside on the balcony to get some fresh air, bought some Nutcracker tree ornaments, and headed back in to watch the second half. The second half was much better and much more tolerable. To sum things up, I’ve seen Swan Lake and The Nutcracker – two of the most famous ballets. I’ve really given it a fair shot, but have come to the conclusion that ballets just aren’t for me. Something about no dialogue what so ever, no desire for ballet, seeing men in tights, and music that I can listen to if I wanted a soothing nap all equates to a so-so time. Nonetheless I had a great time hanging out with Joanne sans kids – we need to do that more often.
After the ballet we jumped on the 1 train uptown to Flor De Mayo. I’ve blogged about this place before and take most of my guests there. Once again the food and service was great. On the way home, Joanne picked up some coffee and we jumped back on the trains. Watching her fumble her coffee, look lost, and losing her balance on the train was a trip. She looked like she never road the subways here in NY or was in such a dreamy state of mind because she was having such a blast with me (lol!!!, jk). Anyways, we went to Jennifer’s place in Elmhurst and picked up the kids and went home. Here are a couple pix at Lincoln Center.
