Hello, 2018!
Jan. 1st, 2018 03:23 pmAnd it's already better than 2017 because the SUN IS OUT OMG. It's still below freezing (25 degrees right now, -3.9 Celsius), but that bright, bright sun makes all the difference.
We had a nice, quiet New Year's Eve. We watched Live from Lincoln Center -- the New York Philharmonic was doing a salute to the Broadway music of Leonard Bernstein, with Aaron Tveit, Annaleigh Ashford, Christopher Jackson, and Laura Osnes singing. They did selections from On the Town and West Side Story (although no "America," alas), and symphonic numbers from Candide and others. It was excellent programming.
And the first book I'm reading for 2018 is Mohsin Hamid's Exit West. Read the first 60 or so pages last night and really liked it.
