NYC

We just returned from New York and I for one had a wonderful time. We stayed in the East Village, near Greenwich Village. We stayed in a building that appeared to be half apartments and half hotel suites. We had what amounted to a one bedroom apartment, completely with a samll kitchen and a tiny stove. Very cute.

Yesterday we saw the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). They were having a Munch exhibit, which I loved. So many of his pieces scare the viewer or at least make you feel squeemish. Very affecting. Such dark backgrounds and clothes and then a very white face. And then he has some that are very light and bright, like a horse pulling a sleigh through the snow, and people in colorful clothes on ether side of the street. Such a contrast. Some of his work is very detailed and pictorial, like some of the commissioned portraits he did. Such a difference from "Despair" (the forerunner to "The Scream") which shows a man's profile where the screamer usually is. But it still has the blood red sky. Just amazing. I bought tons of postcards.

Ok, now a bit of food. Settle down, it is just a bit! Today we went to Tom's Diner, the one made famous as the Sienfeld hangout and the setting of Suzzanne Vega song of the same name. So that was fun to be a part of the legend. See? Not much food.

Well, gotta go dinner is on. (ooops!, More Food!)
