Martha has a strange collection of phones and intercoms and various devices in the house, all of which seem to be ending their natural lives. Since we have been here we have replaced a corded phone, the landline, and then we have installed another cordless phone and answering machine with three handsets.
Martha and I spent several hours today learning to program the new cordless phone, but I think we finally both got the hang of how the menus work.
John and I went out on a sort of random walk this afternoon, had lunch at a very cute place called Hampton Chutney, which has really interesting sandwiches and the only coffee they serve tastes a lot like pumpkin spice latte. As we were walking along Columbus, we saw these signs in a storefront soon to be a bookstore. 
Then we walked up to the New York Historical Society.
This small museum currently has a wonderful new, short-time exhibit called Chinese in America.
It has a lot information about the lives of immigrant Chinese. I really wish this exhibit could travel to California because a lot of the stuff displayed is from California and that was the main point of entry for Chinese into the United States.
After we came home we were planning to have a festive dinner out tonight, but Martha didn't feel up to it, so we had a festive dinner in, delivered by Ozen Thai restaurant.
That's our big day.
Tomorrow I hope to go to the Craft Fait at Lincoln center because I'm interested in seeing how many vendors aren't there from last week, and how many new ones show up.
