NY C- List

I just had a marvelous weekend in New York City. Why was it so marvelous? The reasons are manifold.

A. Dusty is old but not creepy. I was just suggesting that keeping in touch with your 7th grader is a little sketchy, though of course, that's not what happened.

B. I got to see a plethora of Bo' friends. Not just Bo' alums, but friends. That really made the weekend. We sat around a lot, talked, enjoyed sangria, missed who we were missing, but were happy with who was with us.

C. I just overheard a doctor say "hey, bro, how are you?" And had to pretend that work was so funny that it just made me chortle. It isn't.

D. We saw Topanga! (of Boy Meets World, though it's sad if you need the reference help) She had a whopping 3 paparazzi taking her picture and shouting at her (do they even know her name? does anyone?) and was entering the tapas bar as we were leaving. She may have even sat at our table.

E. "Imagine snakes on a plane." Greatest sermon line ever. (This did not happen in New York, but I felt that I should share)

F. Dumplings in Chinatown New York are 4 for $1. And I'm pretty sure, as delicious as they were, we shouldn't have been so happy at that price. It could have gone lower. We had a great filling lunch for a little less than $4, unnecessary tipping included.


I have had a long night being on hold with customer service, so pictures and stories of just how big the greatest city in the world is shall come later. Good night.

i had 4 for $1 dumplings in new york's chinatown scant weeks ago! wonder if it was the same place? not that i have any recollection of where it was or what it's name was (i was in a must-be-fed blood sugar panic and was being led around like the out-of-towner i was), but the dumplings were delicious. my host made a particular point of the 4/$1ness, leading me to believe it is perhaps a) remarkable and b) possibly the same place?

Looks like I am out with Bowdoin...I think I am not snobby enough...

Even my resume reeks of humility!
