Thanks to TiVo I was able to watch my own version of the highlights. I saw what won and what didn’t. I was very surprised to see The Color Purple shut out of most awards. LaChanze did win the TONY for Best Actress in a Musical, as I hoped and predicted.
The Drowsy Chaperone won several awards – though not Best Musical (that award went to Jersey Boys – the only show this season I did not see).
Today I spent the day in Philadelphia. I’ve started a side job working for a guy who works for Designs for Mobility. Designs for Mobility helps insure that businesses and homes are accessible to those living with disabilities. I am helping organize home offices here in New York and also in Philly. I also take care of letter writing and basically do anything I’m asked to do.
My boss, Nelson, had me come down on the train to Philadelphia to work with him in his home there. We spent the day sorting, arranging, re-arranging, writing, etc. I was back on the train at 6:30 and heading back to the city.
I got back to my apartment around 7:45 and the Schenck’s were waiting. We all went right around the corner to famed Italian restaurant Patsy’s (where Frank Sinatra had a table in the days when Spanish Harlem was actually more Italian than anything else).
I have been craving lasagna since April's visit a couple of weeks ago. FINALLY I had some that more than fit the bill. It was absolutely delicious and of course it was steps away from my apartment the entire time.
Everything in Patsy's looks and tastes AMAZING. As we ate, I looked at Elizabeth and said, "I can't believe this place is right around the corner and we hardly eat here."
I shall remedy that.
