When a Broadway Baby Says Goodnight...

...it's early in the morning.

Started my weekend on Friday night with a lovely Shabbat dinner at the Newlywed's home in Brooklyn, which involved the very traditional Shabbat Reading Aloud from The Onion.

Saturday found me standing in the rain for an hour, the fruits of which were half-price tickets for a friend and I to see A Light in the Piazza. The music was fine, sets and costumes great, the story was questionable (Clara is an emotionally-handicapped American who doesn't speak any Italian, and Fabrizio is a young Italian who doesn't speak any English, but why should any of that matter if they are in love? Right?) Saturday night, looking fancy, at Lincoln Center: priceless. Afterwards we met up with some friends of my friend for dinner and drinks on the Upper West Side. One of these friends (let's call him "R") asked if we had been to the Bryant Park skating rink yet, as it is closing January 16th. I hadn't been yet, so I resolved to go the very next day.

Which was today (Sunday). So I went skating, along with many, many other people. Including a nun in full-on habit with dangling rosary, old-fashioned ice skates and cape! You don't see that every day. And who should I run into, but my new friend "R"? So we skated and discussed the nuances of hockey (he) versus figure (me) skates, the difficulty of finding a church and meeting people in NYC, and if that nun was really a nun or just some crazy person dressed as a nun.

All in all, a good weekend. Though one without much sleeping. I better get to bed, as my racist employer isn't letting us celebrate MLK day tomorrow. :) Just kidding, employer! You probably aren't racist. Happy MLK day, everyone! May your wildest dreams come true.
