I can't remember if I talked much about the snow a few weeks back. We had 14 inches. It was a problem because they had trouble keeping the roads plowed. For a while the snow re-covered the road as fast as they could plow it.

I hope we are done with snow for the year!

This week my daughter and her friend Becky have been with me. They did a lot of tourist things and I did some with them. We saw Guys and Dolls with Lauren Graham. They got pictures and autographs of several of the cast including Lauren Graham.

The thing that really impressed me was how great the lighting was. We had great seats dead center on the 12th row. We could see the sweat running down their faces. Lauren Graham, of Gilmore Girls fame, has a great voice. I never knew that.

We also took the Circle Line Semi Circle Tour of the Hudson River. We saw the Statue of Liberty from the water, the U.N., The World trade Center site, the Battery, and of course all the bridges. It was a 2 hour tour, and the day was beautiful.

Afterwards, we celebrated Becky's birthday with dinner at Trattoria Trecolori . The food was wonderful, but we didn't get reservations and we had to sit at the bar. Still it was fabulous food and we enjoyed it.

Saturday, March 7, I went to The Armory Show. I spent four and one half hours walking and looking. It was exciting to see contemporary work as well as Modern works by Picasso, Leger, Miro, etc. As I looked, I got all sorts of ideas to use in graphic design. I paid special attention to the videos since I will have Computer Graphics Studio in the Fall.
Sunday I walked. I started at the Flatiron building on 23rd and walked to the Brooklyn Bridge. One place I liked was an animation gallery called Animazing Gallery. There were original Charles Schultz drawings as well as smaller etchings made from his work. Here is the link. There were other fun fantasy based paintings as well.
The weather was nice, so I decided to walk and take as many pictures as I could find interesting subjects. In NYC there are so many.
I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. You can see the Statue of Liberty from the bridge, although it is a little distant. After I crossed the bridge I wandered a bit in Brooklyn by the water and got an ice cream cone a the famous Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory.
