mmm.... I did not know I am creating a ripple..ha ha. Put it this way, let this be a mild pleasant distraction for your mum from her worries and sadness. Staying anonymous makes it more fun and I think I can be like an angel of rock, all be it a pseudo one, :-)
Btw, I saw your ballet pics. They are awesome. Keep it up, pal. And I have read your impressions and activities in NY. I was there several years ago, doing almost the same things. I watched The LIon King, Chicago, Fiddler on Roof and also The Producer at Broadway, all in a span of 1 week. I was broke by the end of the trip..sigh..
