no excuses: yeah i know, moving, yadda, yadda, time change, yadda, yadda, flu, yadda, yadda,..but still. seen lots of theatre lately, like five plays over the weekend, some really good stuff, mostly off broadway since broadway is on strike as you're probably aware. don't miss michael cumpsty as richard iii on 13th street and i liked secret order at 59 e 59th. had a lovely dinner with a cockroach (won't mention the restaurant since it really was lovely and they were frightfully embarrassed). can't believe next week is thanksgiving, yea gods and then you know what is just around the corner (speaking of which fred claus is better than it should have been). what's your stance on buying stuff at street fairs? -- no not food. it's just such a fun way to shop and it seems sorta fun.

i swear, i'm going to call the mayor's office and put together a treatise on manners at the theatre for parents and kids. it's not the kids' faults, it's parents who think their whiny tots running commentary is too precious for the rest of us to miss. bah humbug.
