This will be my last blog from the really uncomfortable spot at the end of Alissa's bed. I leave tomorrow, but there may be more to write about for a few days. On Sun. we went to church at the Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine. 7 years ago they had a big fire & half of the church & the organ have been closed. They reopened it last Sun. & blessed it for almost 3 hours. Every high- up in the church from around was there. Even Hillary who spoke briefly. You had to get special tickets to get in! They honored the firefighters & then put them to work when a bishop or someone up near the altar had a problem & people were all huddled around him. They wheeled him out later. Huge stone church got really, really cold after a few hours.
Tonight, a roommate got tickets to a men's choral group performing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They sang right in front of the huge angel tree & Alissa sneaked a few pictures!
The group was called Chanticleer from San Francisco - supposedly world famous!
I leave tomorrow very early. Suitcases weigh a ton, & I sent boxes.

Enjoyed the pics and laughed really hard regarding the comments. Very entertaining, hehe. I'm sure it was a memorable time spent together and I look forward to hearing more when "mom" gets back.
