day in review - for Wed.

With more and more construction going on in my front yard and the hole getting BIGGER and BIGGER, I watch while the plumbing of this house is addressed. WOW. I do have water, but the landlord here will have a large bill for this repair. Not much to report except that I worked on and off during the day and was then invited (by Derrell the Butler) for a movie: "Prairie Home Companion" with Merryl Streep and Lily Tomlin. Although it's always fun to watch these two great performers the movie lacked focus and purpose - it seemed like a collage of things that didn't add up to much, emotionally, in the end. Oh well! We went to Montclair to see the movie. On the way back Derrell stopped at a section of West Orange that had a beautiful overlook of New York City. I believe it was called Eagle Rock Mountain Reservation? Something like that. On the grounds overlooking NYC there is a restaurant: http://www.highlawn.com/
It is owned by the same people that own "The Manor" if you know that place. There is a wonderful monument and tribute to the people lost in 9/11 world trade center. It list the lives lost from the surrounding NJ area. A must-see!
I also found out that Mom did fine at the dentist and was in and out in a flash. She is home resting .
