Sounds like a wonderful time in NYC with the girls. Did you enjoy Jersey Boys? We went and saw it a few months (year?) ago in Dallas and even Scott enjoyed it.

Recently there was The Heiress, and I so wanted to see that. As for audiobooks, I just got Eric Larson's In The Garden of Beasts from the library today... captivated by it already.
