Free time? No…
We’re done at four o’clock today. I’m in shock. I don’t know what I’ll do, besides return phone calls from all the people I’ve been ignoring for the past month.
Workshops
The workshop performances of Arabian Nights continue to go well. I’m happy with the twist that I added to the design last night and I showed my rough sketches to the gang. They all seem to like them. We’ll see if it works as I start to get into the nitty gritty details. Oh. Mom
Oops. Travel Karma
Mom and Dad seem to have picked up my travel karma. They had a cancelled flight from Charlotte, N.C. The next plane got onto the runway and then turned around and came back because of weather. The next plane kept being delayed and was finally cancelled. They called me at 8:00 this morning to say

On their way
Mom and Dad have headed for home. I didn’t get to see them off because I had to get up super early to go to the first workshop performance of Arabian Nights. It went well, but is making us rethink a number of things. I’m going to spend this evening doing some serious work on
Shanghai Cafe
Our friend Kuang Yu treated us to a meal at her favorite restaurant in China Town. The food was delightfully good.
The Gates
We had a grand time at the Christo installation. Much to my surprise, I would highly recommend seeing this. As much as the delight of the fabric in the wind, I enjoyed seeing all the New Yorkers walking through the gates smiling. Here’s Dad and Mom as we entered Central Park.
Hanging out with Mom and Dad
I actually have today off. I’m so excited. We have a room at the Roosevelt Hotel which is oh-so-grand. But after sofas, airmattresses, and actor nap rooms, any real bed is exciting for me. We’ve just had breakfast and are off to see Christo’s new exhibition, The Gates.

Late Arabian Nights
Well, I’m having fun working on this, but it’s like making the world’s largest set model. I’m designing everything at full-scale, which is kind of wierd. But okay, I guess. Here’s one of the drawings I did last night. Sorry it’s fuzzy, I’m tired and didn’t feel like taking another one.

More Arabian Nights
I’ve been working with shadow puppets up at McCarter. I feel like I’ve been playing catchup all day and that’s a little hard. I think I’m on the same page now, but who knows what surprises tomorrow may hold.

My birthday
I’m 36! This is how you can tell that, though I aspire to be a lady, I’m not really since a lady never discusses her age.
Back to NJ
Rob and I drove to Atlanta today with no trouble. My flight boarded on time and then sat for an hour and a half on the pavement. Why? Because I was on board. Seriously though, when it landed it had kicked a rock up against a wing and dented a flap. It apparently was nothing
245 guests
Have I mentioned that my grandmother knows a lot of people? Two hundred and forty-five people signed the guest book at yesterday’s celebration. The amazing thing is that, after greeting an unending guest line–for three hours–she knows that some people didn’t sign the book. Who could remember that?!?!? Steve, Rob, Peter and I went to
Grandma’s Birthday!
The house is all in a hubbub getting last minute details ready for Grandma’s party. I’m printing out some pictures, which I couldn’t fit into the Birthday Book, and we will hang them on the walls in the Fellowship Room at the church. That’s where the party is being held. No one has space for
