My Beloved New York

It is confirmed!! Kasey and I are going back to New York to revisit Broadway. We have tickets to Spring Awakening again. We will be sitting very close to the stage and being "spit on" by Jonathan Groff. I thought it was a bit strange at first, but I have since learned that's a sign of good acting. Go figure!

I love New York City, because there, I can be somebody, anybody, and nobody all at the same time... and no one cares. No one thinks I'm crazy. I love the smell of the sidewalks in the morning. I love the Russian speaking peanut vendors. I love the Greek coffee shops. I love the pizzerias where one slice of pizza is big enough to feed the two of us. I love the hearts underneath the cold, hard looks on the faces of the doormen. I love the way their faces suddenly light up when I smile warmly at them. I love the musicians in the subways. I try to buy each of their CDs. I love the lights of Times Square.

December... New York City in December is indescribable.
