Architecture

I've selected Robin Bernstein to design the renovation of my combined apartment. He's started to work on the plans and we've settled on a basic outline. It's a compromise of a couple ideas I've had (over the past six years). Basically, the office/bedroom is a little smaller, and the

Wonderfully Corny

Wonderful Town, Al Hirschfeld Theatre This revival of the '53 musical more than makes up for the thin book and no hit songs with its simple exuberance and wit. While this may be second-rate Comden and Green and Bernstein, obviously that makes it first-rate Broadway. The simple story concerns two

Icons

I've finally fixed the icons. If you're interested, some were found at Icon ArchiveIcons Tree looks good too. And Icon Town is over the top.

DVR

Master&Commander: The Far Side of the World It is complicated for me to talk about the film as I've been reading the O'Brien novels for over a decade. But no matter -- The film is quite good and does what a good epic should do: make you feel

Falstaff, Kline, and more

Henry IV, Vivian Beaumont Theatre Kevin Kline wows 'em as Falstaff. Kline plays the rotund gadabout as a drunk Don Quixote, with a lazy grandeur well-suited to one who has few morals but much wit. This production brings both Parts I and II of the Henry IV plays together in

Mockba

November 20, 2003MockbaVisited Moscow for business Nov 14 - 18. Fascinating, odd place to be. Lots of construction downtown; many new (expensive) restaurants and shops; extravagent and bizarre casinos; along with the same grimy, broken down older buildings and courtyards. Visited the Tretyakov Gallery , the Kremlin, and finally got in
