What a morning! I am at work...happily going about my business (okay reading the gossip columns on-line)...when I get a very dreaded email (that quite frankly I hope none of you ever receive). Telecharge sent an email to inform me that the Off-Broadway showing of Die, Mommie Die! which Shlomo and I had purchased tickets is cancelled. Of course, they would be happy to reschedule us for another showing.
Here's the deal. We had six shows scheduled for five days. Everyone knows that the theatre is dead on Monday, so you do the math. All I needed was to find another show that was playing at 10:00 on Saturday night and I would be set. There are no other shows playing at that time. That is why we had our tickets then...it did not interfere with the other shows we wanted to see.
We booked it at 3:00 on Saturday. My nerves about this exist on many levels. Our flight gets into La Guardia at 12:22. That gives us 2 and a half hours to go to baggage claim (I cannot do five days in New York in December and not check a bag...impossible!), hail a taxi into Manhattan, check into the hotel, grab a bite to eat, and be at the theatre. Shlomo is not the least bit worried. I say mark your calendar now. A blizzard will hit NYC on Friday, November 30.
I know that in the whole scheme of life this is not a real problem. No one is really hurt or dying...unless you count our good friends at Continental airlines if that flight is late.

Um, friend, you do not need a blizzard to make 2 1/2 hrs insufficient time to do all that. You know I have done my share of flying, so please trust me. Here's how I see it going down:
-45 minutes(min) to get bags and get out to curb
-9 minutes to hail cab, get in and go
-time to hotel undetermined...so we'll say 30 minutes
-48 minutes to check in and get to room, sit down, change clothes, etc.
-You now have 18 minutes to get something to eat and get to the theater. Not happening. I'm sorry. You better get started on that Immodium. If you still have any left from your preparations for Israel.
PS. Please advise Shlomo of my well-researched itinerary.
I will. I think we will make it. I will pack peanut butter and crackers just in case there is no time for food.
Good for people to know.
