Tis the season...

The winter vacation is great for quiet time. While you're at home visiting family, unwrapping the Wii or on a beach somewhere, I get to enjoy a quiet city. This is the only time nobody's in the stores, on the street, in museums, galleries, or theatres. Sure the bars fill up at night, but since the mid-morning is a more appealing time of day, no worries. I've got a stack of books to read, cookbooks from the library, a few internet radio stations, and the heat's on (the tradeoff for two sweaters is a sore nose- a deal well worth the price). Years ago I did Christmas Eve at the movies... could be a good time to resurrect that one. Agreeing to visit a pal's cat 2-3 times a week will liven things up too.

I wrote a toungue twister. It's not that great but I came up with it by accident. I was walking through chinatown and noticed how it has spread north past Canal street and how the San Gennaro Festival gets a little smaller every year. Anyway JPR had the one-smart-fella number listed on her blog so I thought it would be fun to share. Here goes:

Little Italy is getting littler; literally, a littler little Italy.
