McNeal w/ Robert Downey Jr.

Walk through Central Park today. 

Dan and I started northbound to change it up. 

When he started jogging, I cut east to find a bathroom and ended up looping back 

around to basically where I'd come from.

(At least I found a map so I new I was headed in the right direction.)

The fun part was I passed Dan going the opposite way and we high-fived.

(Did I ever mention the woman I passed on a walk at home last week?

We passed on the bridge behind the Romney's 

and then again looping around by Heidi's new house.

I said, "It feels like we should slap hands."

And she said, "That feels right."

So we did.  I don't know who she is,

but I'm hoping I run into her again. We're destined to be friends.)

After finding a bathroom, I had more gumption to walk a few more miles.

So walked BACK across the park to the Conservatory garden to see what 

progress had been made this summer on the construction.

Not much.

However, it's so fun having a spot to check on progress.

I finished my edits today! 

Hooray!

(And by finished, I mean this round.)

But I've e-mailed back to the proofreader so hopefully when I get back from Croatia she'll have another round. And a new version of the cover might be ready too.

Tonight's show was McNeal--a play--at Lincoln Center starring Robert Downey Jr!

It was impossible to pass up.

Also starring were Andrea Martin and Melora Hardin.

6.5 out of 10 stars. Fantastic acting.

I wouldn't say it's a must-see based on the story.

(A great writer struggles with his son, demons from the past,

and an unhealthy fascination with AI.)

I wasn't terribly moved. 

(Although there was some interesting topics about writers that I identified with...

creating a story vs. co-opting a story. Memory vs. Imagination.

The effects telling our real or imagined stories may have on our children or loved one.) 

But we absolutely loved seeing Robert Downey Jr. act, up close and personal!
