In addition to attending our school fair and a nice family brunch, I spent my birthday afternoon watching Alvin Ailey. F got us nice tickets because we saw the show a few years ago and it was truly moving. Can you believe the bodies in this picture? They move as well as you imagine they do with an astounding precision and beauty. I do not think a white person could look or move that way. Not pc, I know but almost definitely true. I highly recommend seeing Ailey at some point in your life. It is a breathtaking dance performance filled with heart and rhythm and sorrow and history. Post Ailey we were stuck in a midtown sea of frenetic holiday shoppers, but it did not deter us from enjoying our stroll through Columbus Circle's craft fair. The night was topped off by dinner at my mother's with many many family members. Thank you padre for coming to NYC to be with me and for schlepping my children all over town. Thank you for all of the gifts and love and attention. A la cama!
my great pleasure visiting and spending time with the midgets and the grown ups too.
