7/8/06 20:48This is just to say that I am home.
I like my family, but fifteen of them at once is enough to make one a bit more misanthropic than usual. Nevertheless, it was good.
Highlights, in roughly chronological order: Kinokuniya, where I spent too much; "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," which was adorable; Metropolitan Museum, the 19th century Europeans, the Asian art, and the crocodile with scissors stuck in it on the roof; brunch at Sarah Beth's; dim sum in Chinatown; the shops on St. Denis; getting my entire family hooked on Samurai Sudoku.
Non-highlights: The heat in New York; the decision to eat at the Olive Garden in Times Square, which was actually quite good food and quite good company, but you don't go to New York to go to the Olive Garden, and it was rather overpriced. And I was seated directly across from a billboard advertising a porn DVD, which was a little distracting.
