Meryl Streep in Central Park

Mother Courage

Meryl Streep & Kevin Kline in Mother Courage, part of the Shakespeare in the Park productions.

Mother Courage (stage)

Regardless of the weather turning cold and the rain getting heavier, the audience continued to pour in.

raining on Mother Courage

Then it started raining heavy, we took out our umbrellas, they had to stop. Streep wasn't too happy about that and raised her fist up towards the rain, cursing it?

I have to give these actors credit. They continued acting in spite of the rain. It is us, mortal subjects, who were bothered by it. Meryl Streep, needless to say, was amazingly energetic, rolling around in the mud, jumping and singing on stage. I fell in love with her all over again.
Tomorrow night, I say goodbye to New York City. Though it's been treating me good (these past 12 days), I miss home. I miss my boys and my bed and my shower.
Most of all I miss my blogger friends (not really most of all but since you'd be reading this I thought I'd play to your ego)

moryati. i made do with the cupcakes from Magnolia bakery on Bleecker St. Divine.

pink bublegum. How can anyone feel alone in such a crowded place?

jacqui. Thanks. I had a blast and a nice flight back.

Jewaira. The rain laden cloud escorted us all the way to Amsterdam. As we neared Kuwait, the croud refused to budge from Europe. Do you blame it?

white wings. aaawwww. I missed you too.

Ayya. Of course I missed you. Do I have to wait for a rally to see you?

Valencia. Now that I'm home, I envy me too.
