The World According to Marney

Tuesday, June 24

The road to recovery is a long one. I am still feeling better than yesterday. The best news of all is I have actualy been hungry. I think that means I am slowly on the mend. If only the cough would magically disappear.

Last night was the first night of HBO Movies in the Park here in Manhattan. It is one of the greatest things about summer in NYC. Bryant Park is transformed into an urban drive in, without cars. Bring your blankets, bring a picnic, bring a lot of patience, and most importantly, bring a friend that can stake out a good spot early. Since there has been SOOOOOO much rain lately, no one was allowed on the grass until 7:30PM, instead of the 4:30 usual start time. The movie doesn't actually start until after sundown, which for last night was 9:00. Aside from the mad rush to get coveted grass space, watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on the big screen on the first beautiful day of the summer was a fabulous night. Of course, lugging all of that food and gear around makes me understand why there are people in this world that drive cars.
