Kickin' it tourist-style
Last night I went to Beauty and the Beast on Broadway with Tina. We had fabulous seats in the orchestra. All the real tourists (including the massive group of 8th graders with Southern accents) paid $99 for them, but we didn't pay a cent. Having magazine friends who get lots of good freebies rocks. Before the show, we ate dinner at the Olive Garden in Times Square. It seemed appropriate.
Anniversary Special
Today marks the anniversary of my arrival in New York City. I landed at LaGuardia with two bags and a backpack, no apartment, no job. I knew exactly two people. I guess you could say I've come a long way. I have an apartment filled with my belongings, a job (such as it is) and a solid circle of friends. My only question is where did the time go?
March to Washington
OK. I'm not marching to Washington, D.C. I'll be riding in a motor vehicle. I really don't have the time to walk that far. But I will be marching on Washington, if you will. I'm heading down to D.C. with a group of friends to take part in The March for Women's Lives. I've never taken part in a political demonstration before. I've never really felt compelled to. But this grabbed me. I'm going to get to stand up for women's rights, be part of something historic. I have no idea what it's going to be like, but I'm really excited.
And just to make Scott jealous
Apparently, they have Panera in New Jersey, and we're stopping on the drive down to D.C.
