yes, yes, i've been busy. hence the lack of posts. There's lots to catch up on...Wayne's sister and her boyfriend came to visit last week, it was quite fabulous. Plus it was nice to see the city from a different perspective; too often I get into a mode of blocking things out that I cease to notice things. And really, one should not take out-of-town guests on the 4/5 train at Union Square during afternoon rush hour. You just might make them snap. And not to mention make them go deaf.
