I am ever so slightly tired tonight, dear friends, but I don't mind. Today I took a day off from the box factory, my first vacation day from the box factory since my return from Arkansas seven months ago, to spend the day with my mom, who came up from Philadelphia to see The Gates while there were still gates to be seen. Walks were taken, Thai food was eaten, books were bought at Kitchen Arts and Letters, the ne plus ultra of food and wine bookstores.
Since everyone and their second cousin has an opinion on The Gates, I will refrain from adding to the cacophony. (Besides, I think that Julie's observations are much tastier than mine.) I'll just say that I take back all of my pre-Gates snarking of Christo and Jean Claude. It really is pretty neat to see up close.
