i love (visiting ) new york city!!!
I arrived Friday and have had in quality time with best mates Tricia and Andrea!Tricia lives on the upper East side where you have to dodge nannies with strollers and herds of private school kids, also very close to Central Park and typical NYC greatness. Andrea live in Brooklyn, kinda Williamsburg, where you have to dodge trash talking preteens and hipsters, and always crazy fun. Saturday, we had brunch and got rained on while shopping, then dinner party at Andrea's and fun, fun, fun all night long. Sunday, brunch and sunshine and the Tenement Museum and Tricia and i wondered thru Chinatown and got ICE CREAM!!! from Chinatown Ice Cream Factory http://www.chinatownicecreamfactory.com/.
Monday i went to the Bronx Zoo http://www.bronxzoo.com/ , why do i not know anyone who has ever been there? The Bronx Zoo is responsible for re-established the American Bison after the pioneer tried to eliminate the species, and lots of other stuff- they also have a crazy huge rattle snake (to think i grew up with those guys hanging out in the backyard).
Tuesday, the bodies exhibit http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com/intro.html and more quality girl time with Andrea. OH OH!! and i met Philip Winter, a lifelong New Yorker (age 65) and local author, on the bus. He said i was the most intresting person he had met today! we swapped emails and shall keep in touch...
Tomorrow (Wednesday) I will get a pedicure (mani/pedi only $22) and ANdrea and will got to the Museum of Natural History for the "Dragons, Unicorns, And Mermaids" exhibit http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/mythiccreatures/ . yup.

I believe I went to high school with Philip Winter. He's the right age and profession.
Would you be so kind as to email him and ask him if he remembers Harris Graber?
Thank you.
