A New York kind of day in keeping it postive

I stayed home for most of the morning, then went to the post office to mail out a package. I am clearing my extras and sending them on to teachers in need.

I went down to the 42nd Street area to meet a friend. We went into the main library - on Fifth Avenue - to see the two exhibits they have going on. There was one about WWI... eh. The other was on kiddie lit!!! It was wonderful... There were many books I remember, many I never heard of. The 20th Century was the beginning of children's literature around the world.

Then, on to a kosher pizza place a few blocks away. I had a stuffed white pizza - two kinds of cheese, lots of veggies. And ALWAYS my root beer.

Then we walked another few blocks to the AMC movie theater nearby. I had gotten a pair of the "gold" tickets, so we went to see Boyhood. The idea is interesting - the movie was actually filmed over a 10 year period, and the characters aged naturally. It felt as if it took 10 years to WATCH. It's basically a slice of life... over a long span of time. Not everyone's life has high drama. That's fine. But I just don't think it makes a great movie.

Then home, to the Chinese take out for my standard: chicken with bean sprouts... it has a light ginger sauce... love it.
