Turkey and Music.

12-2-13 SHORT HILLS: It is warming up after several quite cold days. We finally had a bit or rain. As usually happens, a few forsythia flowers opened with the warm up.

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and Christmas looms in the distance. Alison’s and Valerie’s families were all here for the holiday. Everyone over ate of course. Lucy’s birthday arrived on schedule with the festivities. That night we all saw the new “Hunger Games” movie. Lily said she is getting tired of YA, post-apoc dystopias, and I agree.

Saturday we went to Lincoln Center with Alan for the NY Phil doing Mozart’s last three symphonies, 39, 40 and 41. My favorite is whichever one I’m hearing at the moment. I thought they did their usual excellent job. Before the concert we ate at Bar Boulud across the square on Broadway, also no complaints. Tuesday we’re back in that neighborhood for “Der Rosenkavalier” at the Met. There’s a sample from the Met website on my Facebook page.
