Hi Myra. I’m glad you resumed your blog. Keep us posted. This is the trip of a lifetime. All is well here. Thanks for the e-mail, too. I saw Sleeping Beauty last night at ABT (Paloma and Angel). Angel was, as always, fabulous. Paloma was okay, but not much more in my opinion. Angel and Paloma were both fantastic in last week’s Don Q. Carreno is still a great partner, but his jumping, spinning abilities are declining every year. Herman Cornejo is now being given more leading roles. I saw his Don Q with Xiomara. He was excellent, Xiomara was good. Surprisingly, I have not run into Jerry Hochman at all this season. His favorite, Diana Vishneva, has not performed at all this season due to injury. We always sit in the balcony, and there is a little crew of regulars who I have become friendly with up there. Over at City Ballet, Joaquin De Luz is getting a lot of good roles this season. Wendy and Maria K. are magnificient as always. I think Wendy even gained a pound or two. Wow, it must be that extra daily lettuce leaf. Damian retires in two days (sadness!) I’m sure you’ve read about the Tony awards by now, and who won. Macbeth and Patrick Stewart were robbed. Other than that, I concur with the outcome of the awards. Lots of shows for you to see when u return. Miss you. Stacey

Hi Myra. Will you be near Beijing when the Olympics are there this summer? That might make a memorable time. Be sure to report about air quality and other green issues - inquiring minds want to know (the truth)!

Wow! That’s a heck of a download in one fell swoop. I don’t think you mentioned the food, is it delicious? Looking forward to hearing about China (I vaguely recall that nee ha means hello and she she means thank you but I am sure a lot has changed since I was there in 1980). Keep in touch, as they say,
