Moving on out

The movers are here to pack our second shipment to Dhaka. Let's not talk about it.

Instead, I will talk about how lovely things in New York are! What else is new? Yesterday I was cranky since James left me all day, but then he made it all better by taking me to Wild Edibles for their dozen-oysters-and-a-pint deal. They also had fantastic bread (a luxury after Dhaka!). I tried the Long Trail Ale, a nice mild American IPA. Mmm good beer--another luxury.

Then I convinced James to head over to West Chelsea to hit a few gallery openings. The Russian absurdist work we saw was, um, odd (and it got MUCH weirder than this one):


But we loved Dannielle Tegeder's Kandinsky-inspired Arrangements to Ward Off Accidents. The pieces had titles like "The toys of all cultures were products initially of a cottage industry" and "In every accident provisional possibility is driven out." Delightfully mad.

And then we hung out with James's friends from law school on a terrace with a view. A view of something worth looking at--perhaps the greatest luxury of all.
