Mortality

Via facebook I learn of the death of an elementary school classmate.

Five days older than me, she will never be the age I am now.

The Husband, My Kid and I took the train to Union Square and bought books at Strand.

We ate guacamole and drank margaritas at the Mexican restaurant where the plastic men dive from the wall.

They went back to Brooklyn and I went to the Krane Theatre to see the New York Downtown Clown Revue.

Afterwards Phoebe’s Bar was the place to be.

One will go to Las Vegas to work for Cirque du Soleil.  Another will teach a class.  A third  has his arm in a sling.

There is only one more Downtown Clown Revue left.

back in the clown saddle and sore

I don’t know what kind of clown thing I did in the studio yesterday both of my calves have hurt all day.

A neighbor had a class so I took her kid along with mine to the Scholastic Store in Soho and then the Apple Mac store in Soho and then Kidrobot in Soho.  Then we hooked up with the mommy-friend for lunch and went to a vegetarian dim sum restaurant in Chinatown followed by the wonders of the Aji Ichiban candy store.  They went up to Union Square to go to Petco while I went to Brooklyn Heights to pick up The Husband’s repaired shoes and drycleaning.  Back in our neighborhood I bought Coho salmon, fingerling potatoes, asparagus and heirloom tomatoes for dinner–We saw the movie Julie and Julia this weekend so now I feel compelled to mention the food we prepare in our apartment’s galley kitchen.  That will wear off soon.
