Off to New Yawk … again
Cats: travels|I know. I know. I was just there. In October.
But that trip was a screw-up on many levels, even if it was a good time.
So this time, I’m doing it up right. (You can correct the mistakes of trips past when you have a bundle of Air Miles points.)
All the Typists will be along for the ride this time.
It’ll be just before Christmas. In New York. With all the lights. (“Grandma likes the lights,” they will say of me in years to come. “The lights always make her take off her WWII flying goggles and prompts that charming toothless smile of hers.”)
My main goals this time are a show (Spamalot), The Met and consignment shops in Manhattan. I’m a vintage clothing fiend.
Oh yes. And a New York omelette.
Prolly won’t be blogging, so I’ll cya back here in a few days.
Tra la.

Aw, have fun! New York at Christmas is just magical.

Is the Typist family going to be on Fixed, er, Fox News again? Hopefully this time, displaying the mad Typist martial arts skills on a commentator or two.

I can’t believe you didn’t tell me you are coming back. Are you going to make it to the Upper West Side again?
Who will fix your phone?

Jenna, I’ve heard this. I will
Cormac, no this time I’m only doing CNN appearances … but they’re in Atlantic … so maybe NBC or something…

New Yorker, I got a new phone. Not sure of my plans but will email if i’m in your hood.

I know I’m supposed to be all happy for you and all the typists, but truth be told I am really jealous. Spamalot? I wanna go too!
And I have always wanted to go to New York at Christmas ever since that Home Alone movie.

Vintage clothing fiend? Well if you find a nice top hat, a bowler, or a white shirt with a bat-wing collar, pick it up for me. I’ll pay you back when I come to your side of the boarder. Hell, I’ll even buy you some beer.
Have fun Typist Family!

Let me know if you’re not in my hood, if I’m around, I like vintage clothing too. I’m also curious where you intend to shop.

Take a Christmas tree with you, they like that.

We saw Spamalot and loved it, although we didn’t see it in New York.
*sniff*
The rest of us just have to muddle through in not-New York
Just kidding. Have fun and then tell us all about it.

Thanks all. A good time was had, and good omlettes, but bad weather dampened the experience.
