on our way to the dance intensive this morning, i took chanda past a new coffee shop i discovered on greenwich street in tribeca. we were happy to meet mosely outside the door. he was waiting patiently for his owners to come back out. he reminded me of jack when the girls were little. chanda was happy to say hello.
after dropping chanda off, i made my way back home. i found this glass and steel building at broadway and reade streets interesting, as they built it to completely surround the 18th/19th century brick building on the corner.
here's another interesting observation on an early friday morning: pigeon feet in cement. looks like some pigeon had a field day after workers poured a new sidewalk!
it was almost like a work of art . . or maybe it wasn't "almost." maybe it was meant to be.
another art project: songs for the city, by sing for hope. it's the latest public art display and i love it. there are 88 pianos all over the city, in every borough, and every time i pass one i see people playing and singing. it brings people together and creates a joyous time. you can read a wonderful article about it by anthony tommasini here.
chanda's ballet friend, isabella, slept over this evening. we took her for a walk on the high line. it was our first walk there this spring, and we were happy that it wasn't too crowded.
it was a beautiful walk as the sun went down. we went home to a delicious dessert of raspberry sorbet. tomorrow, at 12:30, after morgana's acting class, she and i will drive out to montauk for a short visit with nana and nonno.
I love the pigeon footsteps! Pigeon are so non-clever (is that a politically correct way to describe them?) and it would be fun knowing WHAT they have been thinking walking around. I bet they weren't too happy about this new, sticky ground!
