Well, the trip to the Guggenheim was a bust - a long, long line combined with wind and rain. We soon bagged that idea and ended u
p going to an amazing Titanic exhibition on 44th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues. I am a Titanic buff and this was the best exhibit I've ever seen with lots of artifacts and even recreated rooms such as the Grand Staircase shown above. It was interesting because among the items on display was one of the ship's whistles which I had seen unloaded in Norfolk when the very first artifacts were retrieved. A friend had been counsel for RMS Titanic, Inc., and invited me down to the dock when the expedition vessel came in. I highly recommend the exhibition to those in town or coming to town.*
Breakfast with the boyfriend's young client and one of her friends was pleasant and it was interesting hearing them talk as the begin careers with mega firms. I do not envy the hours they will be putting in, but given what has been happening in the legal industry, they are lucky that the have jobs as some New York firms have slashed associate attorneys and staff personnel. Tonight we are headed to Hair and hopefully the rain will abate somewhat. Vendors selling umbrellas on street corners have done a brisk business since the wind has destroyed countless umbrellas, including one of ours.

Any bloggers in New York can drop me a line and perhaps meet us for a drink or something. We will be in town through Monday.
