EhBeth--

I keep hearing that the weak dollar means bargains for thrifty Canadians.

Too late. ehBeth has long forgotten her suggestion to go shopping with me.

Timing is everything.

The FESTIVE season has started. Christmas parties, concerts (I have three subscription series - and they all want to help me celebrate), the regular round of dance classes (plus dance school parties), lunches ...

I'll have to peer at the January schedule. February's already out - another collection of concerts all rallying together.

A colleague of mine was in Manhattan last week. I'd have loved to be able to travel with her.

EhBeth is a popular woman and much in demand.

Before I forget, Bree, I put your suggested book Christine Falls on my audiobook wishlist. I'll let you know - I love Irish tales. Thanks.

Eleventh, Twelveth okay? Where's When's What's ... .

Oh, should we give Walter a deadline on those photos of New York????
It's been six months. I say he starts sharing them in ....

I've finished Chicago and my first three days in New York completely, a couple from Boston and quite a few from my "second" stay in NY as well.

The photos will be posted, medium-term, Mr Joe(but not within two hours)Nation and Ms ehBeth!

Give me another week - pleeeeaaaaase! ehBeth might be back from shopping by then

oooooooooh DSW! ShoeMania! ShoeGasm AND the top floor of Filene's (where the shoes are) all in one photo

<thud>

the other night on What Not to Wear they went to two of those stores - and then filmed the victim/shopper walking through Union Square - and then last night on Top Chef (which I'd never seen before), the chefs were shopping in the Union Square GreenMarket.

It was some kind of message.

I wonder what it was.

Cool

Sometimes, these messages really are totally enscrypted and nearly impossible to decode, isn't it :wink:

We're arriving in New York on January 10 Thursday and leaving on Wednesday, January 23. That will leave a few days open for fun, other than my meetings. So we have Friday, Jan. 11, Sat. January 12 that are totally free for playing and then again on the 21st and 22nd. So any of those free days will be good. We could meet in our hotel room, but I'm not sure how large it will be. We'll have a kitchen (whatever that consists of.) Or we can go out and have some fun. We're flexible.

Lola: The 11th or 21th are best for me with the 11th being the best, but you name it and claim it.

The 'message' referred to by E was that the stores in Soho finally figured out that that they didn't want the tourists, who've seen the store on the air, to come and look at their $659.00 shoes.

(Plus having to shut down while the WNTW crew shoots the confused inept@fashion person gaping at the high button boots for two hours. (Two hours of shooting, seventy one seconds of air time.) They want the PWM* to come it, sit down and buy. Then bye bye.

When I was in NYC with the foodies, the majority of the shoe shopping was done at Peter Fox. ughhhh $500+ on sale. Shocked

Of course, we also had the chocolatier's tour of Manhattan on that trip. It was the "how the other side lives" vacation.

I just ran across this article about some of Richard Ford's new and older writing, and suddenly thought - Thomas! Maybe Thomas would enjoy the trilogy about Frank Bascombe, set in the fictional but thoroughly described Haddam, New Jersey. Just in case, here's the article -

Ah good morning, my dear. Yes, you're right. I went to bed quite early but unfortunately and unusually for me, woke quite early too.
I'm enjoying reading your Digression. Do keep it up.
