LAZY CALIFORNIAN'S DAY IN NEW YORK

A walk down Broadway looking for a blow dry. Everything closed. Bit the bullet and bought Martha a new dryer, which was cheaper than anyplace I could have had my hair done. It just looks awful because I can't get any curl with no heat. 

Back to apartment to take hair dryer home. Jory is there practicing harpsichord, so we listen for a bit from the living room, torture the cats a bit making them chase reflected lights 

Back to museum of Art and Design to see the Loot show which started today -- but today was grand opening for the big donors, not hoi polloi like ourselves. 

We spent the rest of the day exploring Central Park, which was fun and relaxing. 

Everybody's taking selfies.

She has a tool for taking selfies.  

On a park bench. 

Tonight we went to a wonderful concert by the Imani wind quintet at the church at the corner from Martha's apartment. They played Mendelssohn, Elliot Carter, Wayne Shorter, Stravinsky, and Simon Shaheen.  The picture I took of them didn't come out very well, but this one is from their website.  They are a good-looking group, too.  They've played together for 18 years.
