Got to NYC yesterday — stayed up all night with Dana and Tara. Snippets from our conversation:

• Jimmy Carter says yes.
• Green fingernails need you…
• The humpty dance rocks eggs. But few other things, mind you, like tubs of vasoline.
• Waking up in a pickle barrel house with leaves falling on the skylight over your head… then bonking your head on the curved roof.
• Russian Pig Olympics!
• Moments most missed: licking the back of a postage stamp right before mailing a letter to a friend.
• They were wrong - learning math did NOT matter!
• Check out Amadou and Miriam - cute blind couple from Mali, produced by Manu Chao
• There IS such a thing as cat scratch fever.
• Happypot cookies that you freeze, not bake.
• Vintage shopping in Chelsea is the perfect antidote to rainy Sunday afternoons in NYC. And a cuppa coffee at Push Cafe.

Feels good to be back in NYC.
