End of the the quarter

Last Thursday Naomi finished her quarter. I celebrated it for her with some specialty rolls at Masu East followed by pizza at Ken's next door where Yuliya and Akiko joined us.

Friday was the so-called winter prom, in the style of salsa. The space was weird - in a cramped movie viewing hall. The band was live and good - Cuba Ache, and the drinks free. We had a good time dancing at least. We went with Faisal and Jasmine, and also came home rather early, which was fine since the most enjoyable aspect of the evening was the conversation in the care to and from the dance.

Saturday mom came up for the Nutcracker matinee at the Keller. Before that we had sandwiches at Daily Cafe and some pastries at Ken's on 21st. The ballet was spendid, the three of us with big grins until curtain down. She is doing alright on her broken leg, but the soft cast is awkward.

Sunday we met Vivian for dim sum at Wong King's. The wait was long, but the food good, although I might prefer our little Chinatown Restaurant dim sum right across from Nike. Matthew joined us for the last 45 minutes.
