Well folks, she is back and all in one piece.  I gather that her stay was
quite uneventful.  I was interested that she said lots of people were
riding the train into the city on Sunday. I was also surprised that it took
6 hours to go from Brattleboro to NYC, it only takes 4 to drive down.  But
then what do you do when you get there?  Do you guys drive?  I have known a
few people who lived there and they were young and they didn't even have
licenses or know how to drive.  Is that usual?

 I DO wish I had gone.  She said the big dog show was also going on and
lots of the dogs and their people stayed at the same hotel she did.  I love
to watch the dog shows on TV when I can find them.

the thought of going down to rescue her if she has a problem.



Ruth,

We have cops and firefighters for that sort of thing, should MIL find it
necessary.  But won't you be embarrassed when she comes back having had a
fabulous time at the Tinkertoy Palace (the Javitz Center was built with a
gigantic space frame) and you've just sat around at home?
