Active Weekend
Friends joke I keep an active weekend. I guess I do?
Last Friday I went to GOV'T Center to see the London production 360 of "Peter Pan" and I must say my fave character was Tinkerbell! (She rocked and changed my perception of her compared the sanitized Disney version.)
Saturday-Checked out on the slushy and cold weather in NYC (I had wet feet the whole day, glad I did not get hypothermia!) Gugganheim, Neue Galerie (Anniversary of the highlights of the collection) and Frick (Special Picasso exhibit and forgot how lovely this place is) and wanted to go to the Whitney but did not have accurate info on its location. Then saw Hugh Jackman in his One Man Show. He rocks and love his enthusiasm, talent, manners and he is just awesome. Along with moi, I was surrounded by many men who were dragged by their wives, girlfriends and relatives. The ride back to Boston was hairy as I was heading back during the height of the snowstorm (20 + north of here) and only 1 inch in Boston area. We had lost our electricity. Thank goodness we had a crankable lantern/radio combo. We could not cook but at least we had our hot water.
Sunday-Woke up and finally got electricity back on at 9:30am. Caught the Harvard Square Chocolate tour with my pal, which we thought started at 10am but was 11am. (Website and the BUYWITHME coupon were not matching). At least got to try the delish LA Burdick macaroons -their seasonal pumpkin and cinnamon were delicious. We did the 2.5 tour despite it was cold. Then later hit dimsum with friends and then went to Spooky World at Fenway. The highlight was being to be on the playing field. (It was a surreal experience!) That night hung out with my friend, recorded a few things so he could listen to (ESL learner).
No wonder I thought I got the chills and almost the FLU on Monday!
