My daughter is out to summer camp in upstate New York for several weeks. We will miss her but she will have a fun time.
Since it turned out to be a pool day, sun and blue sky, my wife decided a cook out grill dinner. She invited a family friend.
We had grilled sliced rack of lamb and roasted zucchini. Drinks consisted of red wine and white sangria.
At dinner outside by the pool, mellow sound of crickets, clear blue sky with few bright stars, and at 84 degrees Fahrenheit with low humidity...dinner had the proper ambiance.
It was a country feeling but so close to greatest city in the world, Manhattan.

Union Square, Manhattan, NYC
A visit to Manhattan always include Times Square, Rockefeller Plaza, 5th Ave, Central Park, South Street Seaport, Empire State building, Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, and the World Trade Center site. And perhaps, a tour of the city on a double decker bus.
There is place called Union Square at 14th Street. It provides wholesome family activities in spring and summer. It is famous for their green market. It is not unique to Manhattan. New Jersey farmers has been providing fresh produce to urban areas in the state for many years. Jersey farmers has extended their markets to the City in the early 80's.
On April 28, the site will host NYC Grows Garden Festival. It is about garden and nature.
A place to visit.
A city turning green.

The Phantom of the Opera
I have seen it three times and it gets better. There is something mystical about the show. It must be the musical and the plot of romance and despair in the underworld. All of us love the show.
My daughter found the original cast recording cd, which all of us presumed lost, in a junk box somewhere in the attic. It is in perfect condition despite the extremes of temperature for all those years, at least two years.
It was truly a lost treasure found.

Les Miserables
Tonight is the opening of yet another revival of Les Miserables. Lea Salonga is Fantine. She hails from the Philippines and I am very proud that she is now a notable figure in the great white way of broadway. I had seen it twice with my family and friends/relatives from out of state. It was a great show. This time, it will as good as before or even better. Living in New Jersey is a drive away from Manhattan, the capital of theater and culture in the US if not the world. You can live in the countryside of New Jersey and be able to visit Manhattan anytime.
