Waiting for Godot and Me

I am on a trip to NYC with Julia and her entire family. 
It has been quite an experience already. The car trip was 5 of us --3 adults, 1 toddler and 1 baby-- in an SUV. We listened to the most random mix of music ever conceptualized or created by mankind. The trip was kind of long, but the end result was totally worth it. 
Julia kept saying "New York City! New York City! New York City!" She was wowed by the height of the buildings. I asked her "Julia, do you feel really small here or larger than life?" She replied, "I feel Medium than life, Yet-ish [Alexis]."
Very matter of fact. She fits right in.

I went to see "Waiting for Godot" with Jay and Sarah's Mom, Susan, which was total fun! Nathan Lane and Bill Irwin were amazing. Their timing was perfect. The play was hilarious and good times were had. 
I couldn't remember where I had read/seen the play before last night until Act 2 Scene 1. The main characters, Vladimir and Go-Go come out of their respective areas and V. says "You again! Come here until I embrace you!" 
Acting class! I remember my friend Becca use to say that ALL the time! She and Adam had a scene to do and this was it! Memory restored, laughs had, now I have to contact Becca!

This morning I woke up at 7:20 to the sound of Julia's voice yelling "Yeh-ish!" over and over. She and I are "roomies" a word that she is thrilled to have acquiesced from my vocabulary (one of my many fabu words). We watched "Sesame Street" as a special treat and then called her mother so I could sleep in.

I went to the Met today. The day was nice so the walk was fine and the museum had great exhibits. 

I'm done being on the computer now. Sorry to be anti-climactic but I gotz to get my NYC on~!
