The-Yankees-Win! Parade

On Friday, November 6 I joined 2 million Yankees fans in lower Manhattan to watch the parade in the Canyon of Heroes.

A beautiful clear blue sky was visible where we joined to celebrate the victors of America's favorite pasttime:

While I viewed the parade on the packed sidewalk, others viewed it where they could:

And even from their office windows:

There is nothing like ticker tape in autumn:

You want to see the players. Here are some of the Boys of Summer. Joba!

CC!

Johnny...

Future Hall-of-Famer Mo:

A-Rod and friends:

And finally, the captain, Der-ek Je-ter! Der-ek Je-ter!

A beautiful day, joining with the millions who stayed out of school or called in sick to witness the parade. New York, New York!

A Busy Week

Hello everyone!

My first post on Posterous in ages and actually, you'll see I've taken my other posts down. So in some ways this is my first Posterous post...

A busy week. I'll attempt to tell it in pictures.

There was an iittala sample sale earlier this week at their showroom on Madison Ave. I snapped up several items, one being this beautiful plate. These plates, btw, aren't just decorative. They are freezer-, microwave-, oven- and dishwasher-safe. They are meant to be used and enjoyed!

I found myself invited the next day to an incredible lunch prepared by a chef from Helsinki. We *could* have been dining on iitala plates there too, who knows. The full details will be seen in the December issue of the Finnish-American Reporter. In the meantime, if you'd like the answer to the question: Did you have reindeer? It is: Yes!

Next up: The wonderful Brooklyn museum was having a members' preview and reception for their latest exhibit Who Shot Rock n Roll? This exhibit runs until January 31st. Excellent. One of the highlights of the evening was a performance in the museum by Blondie. Here's Debbie Harry wearing a black wig:

Actually, I know you want to see the video of her performance of Rapture. Here it is:

But wait! This week was also Halloween. You know I was out with my camera, snapping pix of this, the most spookiest time of the year.

Skulls and even skeletons!

I enjoyed the steel drum band a lot...

A wonderful weekend. And to all, a Good Night!
