I leave for Israel tonight. It’s been one mega crazy but awesome weekend in NYC.

Highlights: talking my way onto a flight HOURS before mine. (Just as well because my actual flight wound up getting cancelled)

Finding my dream wedding dress at Kleinfeld. Meeting the designer (Anne Barge) of said dress. - fyi no marriage plans any time soon.

Seeing some old Toronto friends and going to a stereotypically hipster Art Battle. (ask me about it)

Seeing my cousin for the first time in nearly 15 years. Said cousin won the Wicked lottery, which meant seeing Wicked for the first time from so close that we could see the actors’ wig lines.

Etc etc. I have many more weeks of travel ahead of me, so I leave you with this piece of advice: don’t go to The NY MoMa on a Saturday afternoon. Chances are everyone else had the same idea.

I’m no grammar or spelling expert, but the Associated Press has got to step up their game in that department.
