We Made It Here Despite Cancer & Hurricane Sandy!!!

      Incredibly, in the 90th hour Lower Manhattan was without power, Bernard and I had to leave for the airport.  We walked down seven flights of stairs and paid a maintenance man $40 to carry our luggage downstairs.  It took longer to get into this blog -- because illness last year made it impossible to get to the computer so Blogger gave me up for dead -- than to fly to Paris!  And, amazingly, our good friend Rita Horiguchi is here too.  It's been a wonderful week of catching up.  All too soon, tomorrow, we have to fly back to New York.
