An amazing NYC day in keeping it postive

I've been working a LOT this past month. Since I have to go in (and get paid) even if there's no active work for me that day, I've been doing a lot of reading... and posting the books on the exchange sites. That caught up with me and I had SEVEN books to send out on Saturday! It works out to a little under $3 a book to send out. Starting to get rather expensive... but isn't everything?

Since I work across the street from the discount booth for Broadway play tickets, I contacted a friend to see if she'd want to go to a Saturday matinee. Once she read the e-mail about how much the tickets cost, she tried to back out. But since I didn't get to read her cancelling e-mail before I'd bought the tickets, we went anyway.

We got to see "Mothers and Sons" a Terrance McNally play about loss, homosexuality and the difference in perspective from one generation to another. It was a very powerful production starring Tyne Daly.

I went to Starbucks with my friend so we could talk a bit. When she headed home, I went to a movie... it was right next door to Starbucks, and I already had a discount ticket... of course more expensive in Manhattan... I got to see Million Dollar Arm - clearly a "feel-good" movie. I enjoyed it. The photography in India was amazing. I knew the lead female actor looked familiar, but I didn't recognize her name... I looked her up later and realized she was from Boston Legal (one of my favorite television shows...).

On the way home, I had a long conversation with the bus driver broken up by a long conversation with an older man on the bus... then back to conversing with the bus driver.

All in all... a GREAT day!!
