Lived to Tell the Tale

Well, I am completely exhausted, but other than the late hour getting home -- 11.30 -- it was a lovely evening. The clip from the show and the speakers were interesting, and even the people at my table, too. The audience was seeded with member of an organization of women who are all heart-disease survivors and who have been trained at the Mayo Clinic to lead discussions, answer questions, etc.

And it was very cool to see my kid at work and to see how much everybody there likes her and appreciates her work. Mmmmmm, big-time kvelling.

I also enjoyed the adventure of the train. I had a kind of a Jed Clampett moment, where I came out of the doors of the train station onto the street and boy, was I in the big city! I looked up at the skyscrapers and everything. I felt very silly, as if I'd never been there before, but of course, I have and many times, just not recently. I even thought to myself as I waited on the corner to cross "Now just how close am Ii to Madison Square Garden?" and then I turned around. Giant DUH. Madison Square Garden sits atop Penn Station, which I have known ... well, not since birth, but since they remodeled it that way when I was a child.

So I am good and tired, and picked up sushi for dinner at the supermarket before, as well as some sushi-like something for lunch tomorrow. (I never get fish sushi, only vegetable, so it'll keep just fine until tomorrow.)

I could write more, but it would be increasingly incoherent, so I'm just going to eat my sushi now -- I think it said Colorado Roll, which could be anything; I never heard of that before) and I'll watch last night's L & O while I'm eating. Tuesday's a good TV night, so I have lots to catch up on.
