We arrived uneventfully last night and after dropping our things at the apartment went out to dinner and then had a nightcap at the Monster Bar which is 1/2 a block from the our friend's apartment. The only downside so far has been Internet access at the apartment - your's truly is at the Starbucks off of Sheridan Square at the moment. The plan for today is the go to the Frick Museum and mansion, and then amuse ourselves doing whatever strikes our fancy.

Being in New York City underscores what a different world it is from the all too pervasive backwardness of Tidewater Virginia. For dinner, we went to a Mexican restaurant and ended up seated next to a very attractive Latino family: mom, dad, two daughters, a son and the son's boyfriend. Everyone acted - and rightly so - as if having a sons with a boyfriend was 100% normal and ordinary. I have yet to see anything comparable in Virginia. Leaving the restaurant, a lesbian couple walked by holding hands - again with no one batting an eye about it. It's HEAVEN compared to Virginia. It's the way things ought to be. And then, there are all of the great looking guys.

At the Monster, I danced for a while and then we sat at the piano - the boyfriend seems to know the words to every show tune - and enjoyed listening to some wonderful singers. I don't know if any of them perform professionally, but the voices were amazing - and a couple were gorgeous.

We hope to fix the Internet problem. If not, posting will be reduced.
