Well, it’s off to NYC! I’mleaving my laptop behind and instead taking lots of books and notebooks. Right now I’m the middle of reading Pictures at a Revolution and it’s fascinating stuff. Anyhow, I’ll be off the grid until next Thursday. Try not to be jealous: my plan is to hit all three major tiki bars in NYC, go to MoMa to see the Jazz exhibit and the Brooklyn Museum to see the Murakami show, and just laze about. Or something. The Amtrak portion of the trip should be interesting.
