Away We Go

Dinner on the lower east side in extreme heat...aaagh. Then on Saturday we took Kate with her two new duffle bags off to meet the bus to Hidden Valley Camp with maybe 100 other kids and tons of gear. She and Lydia are in the same cabin this summer and they both left town with a healthy stack of books to read. Kate also insisted on taking Chinese dried noodles and a thermos of hot water as her picnic lunch for the 8hour bus ride. We waved our only child a fond adieu and took off for Union Square and the stands of farm fresh corn. We ctually didn't stay out very long because it was stll hot. off to an air conditioned space which was the movies and saw Salt. But almost more interesting to me was the hand dryers in the ladies room which are manufactured by Dyson and they are brilliant and they actually dry your hands. Instead of holding your hands under a stream of erratic hair, you hold your hands between two blowers that do the job. Amazing. I'm going to see if Dyson has a design camp and then send Kate. His stuff, including our vacuum cleaner is beautiful and functional.

Nothing more to report because it continued to be hot.And although we ran Miss Murray in the Park, it was still hot at 8:00 am! More air conditioning time until there was a great thunderstorm and the heat broke. At that point we took off for dinner at Tabla where we can sit outside, take Murray and feel totally luxurious.
