Description
Spring semester always seems soooo long. I cannot recall what I was reading at the time, but something spoke to me of big cities and the longing for home. For me, home will always be the big city. But I live in Slooowvannah Georgia where everything is sloooow. Here I feel not-at-home, but yet at home in a way. At any rate, I said to Mary, "Hey let's go to NYC this weekend and take in a few Broadway plays." So we hopped on the small Delta plane and flew to New York City. Our first stop is a diner across from Grand Central Station that boasts of serving up "America's Best Pancakes." Of course, one simply must try their pancakes. They are pretty good. After breakfast we enter Grand Central and immediately I feel refreshed and alive. NY is not sloooow. Grand Central has got to be one of the most exciting places in the world. It is just so Grand, so Gothic, so over-done, so over-the-top, so full of life. After our trek through Grand Central we head out to the Upper East Side to stay at our usual place, The Melrose. I love the view from our window. You can actually see real Deli's. Savannah doesn't have real Deli's. We've got fake ones. I love to hear the cabs honking and the trucks opening up their large doors to bring in the morning's merchandise. When I was a young child, my father used to take us to NYC almost every year. We took cabs everywhere because my father hated the subways. Now, of course Mary and I take subways everywhere. Never do we take cabs. Real New Yorkers do not take cabs. I remember my early childhood years in NYC eating at the Stage Deli, Peter's Backyard, auditioning at Julliard, seeing Sweeny Todd on Broadway and getting stomach aches. The thought of going to Julliard was just too much for me. What I really wanted to do was to go back home--to Pittsburgh--and study at Carnegie-Mellon, which I did. As an adult, every time I see the Julliard School I get this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach--ugh. The music world is so impossible!!
