I'll email you the webpage. Maybe next time you go, I'll tag along, as long as you promise not to laugh at me. I think Michael stayed at the Marriott Marquis the first time I met him. The glass elevator nearly gave me a panic attack. GAH! Sounds like you had an amazing weekend. GC, World’s Fair Drive. I’ll email you the webpage.

We've been using the Bridgewater Sports Arena, but sometimes it's so crowded there's no room to skate. The Spawn and I just learned how to ice skate this winter (the Czar's an old pro), and we've really gotten into it. Speaking of the Spawn, she and I had an awesome mommy-daughter weekend. While the Czar was off introducing Richard Dawkins at the American Atheist convention, she and I took off for NYC. We stayed at the Marriott Marquis (on points, lots o' points) and they gave us a great high room. Which meant lots of rides on the super-fast glass elevators - whee! We went to the circus at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, for which I scored amazing seats (center of the ring, aisle seats, only ten rows back). At night, we went to the Marriott's rotating rooftop restaurant and they kindly seated us right by the window, to watch the city whirl by. Sunday I took a gamble that paid off big. I got into the Cancellation line for The Lion King right when the box office opened - I was second in line. I scored fourth row center orchestra seats at face value! Seats that on eBay or Stubhub are sold for $400 per! So we got to see a matinee and it was a-freaking-mazing! Afterward, we went ice skating at Rockefeller Center, followed by yummy dinner at Rosie O'Grady's. Fun! You have to tell me where this new rink is.

In retrospect, I should have just asked the rink girl if we could switch direction. At one point it was just me, her, the geekboy, and a guy with his very young son who spent the entire time inching around the rink clutching the wall. Gargantuan right thighs, oh noes!

I guess they didn't want our community to be marked by our gargantuan right thighs! All the food shots look so great! You have a nice backdrop there, the textured wall! And Geekboy looks so cute with all them spoils!
