Before I let too much time slip away (and it may be debatable that I already have), I wanted to mention our little visitor from last week. Beth's mother, Betty, flew in from California to enjoy our couch and a whirlwind of Broadway shows. My own personal tastes and religious practices demand I abstain from musicals so I missed out on all of the festivities, but from what I gather Beth and her mother had fun. Unfortunately we couldn’t always be there to show Betty around but, considering that this was hardly her first visit to New York, I think she fared allright. Good shows, good food, good company — a good time was had by all. Thanks for the visit, Betty.
