So ...

I'm home, I got home yesterday around four. I really had some nice days in the city. I have a couple more pictures which I'll post within the next few days.

Cash Cab. No, I didn't get to ride in it, but it seems that everybody wants to. People were talking about it at the taxi stand, and when I got in the cab to come back to the hotel, my friend -- who hailed the cab for me; I wouldn't have known what to do -- peeked inside and said "Oh, it's not the Cash cab."

Times Square. I have not been in Times Square for probably forty years, although I was there as a child with my parents a couple of times a year. I looked out the cab window in awe as if I had never been off the farm before. I felt somehow that I should still be holding daddy's hand, and I was surprised to see it as light as day! Several things about the trip were nostalgic for me, including the drive into the city and then out along the West Side Highway.

Celebs. I didn't stay to see Queen Latifah because I was just fading away by then, but I did see Queen Noor, who was quite impressive, and Bobby McFerrin, who was talented and adorable.

Back in the real world, you may or may not have heard that ABC pulled its broadcast off the major cable provider in New Jersey and parts of New York, Cablevision, so I'll be looking for live streaming to watch the Oscars tonight. (I have several good links at hand.) No captions, I suppose, but it's hard to watch anything live with captions, because there's always a time delay. Fingers crossed for this absurd dispute to be resolved by Tuesday, for Lost.

And it's back to school tomorrow. I did nothing today, never even went outside, although I understand it was a beautiful day. Tomorrow, then.
