This morning I was waiting for a package from India that contained a necklace for my Aunt in Belarus that Mama ordered from New York in the internet – global commerce in action. I just find this cool. I finally came like twenty minutes before I had to leave the house to go to the city.
Medusa and I were supposed to go to “The Daily Show” today. So we met earlier for lunch. We stumbled into a Thai place that was decent with really good spring rolls and tasty dressing and we walked around a lot. But in seeking a bathroom before we went to wait on the Daily Show line, we got to the line too late. The line was enormous and we got cut off and didn’t get to go. I’m disappointed but there is nothing one can do. I’ll try to get tickets for May or something. At least we got to hang out and eat Thai food so it was not for nothing. Next time I’ll know to be there around 2:30.
Instead of the show, I went to join Yeva for a free Hebrew class in a synagogue on fifth avenue. It was a nice small class that practiced letters and basic sentences. While I know all the letters and vowels pretty solidly by now, I never read outloud to a person who knows Hebrew before and it was good to do that and get little corrections and reinforcement too and hear letter read. Leah, the girl, who taught the class was very welcoming and the class was very informative. It takes me too long to get to the city, otherwise, I would go every week.
After the class we met up with Marianna and Janna for dinner (I was planning to join that dinner after a show anyway). We went to this Italian place where the waiter flirted with Yeva and we got a wrong appetizer so we ended up eating two appetizers for the price of one (confusing Portobello mushrooms with goat cheese and regular mushrooms with mozzarella does take talent) and the food was pretty decent. Not the best Italian restaurant ever but decent one. Just seeing each other again was a fun part. So the whole day ended up being a socializing day and walking around a lot day and I’m just grateful for that.
