Oh, good. I keep meaning to bump this. Thanks!
I, uh, still am not entirely sure where I will be coming from . . . I haven't reached my cousins in Monsey yet. Possibly, I'll be staying the whole trip with a friend from HS who lives in Brooklyn (and who I have spoken to). But I hope to reach other people tomorrow.
So maybe I'll know tomorrow night.

Well, your Shvester, Esther, is coming from New Jersey, sans Son of Shvester, who, it turns out, is away all weekend on a back-to-school getaway in the Poconos.

Probably the train to Penn Station, but it doesn't make a difference to me where we meet -- I can get anywhere.

There is a (kind of expensive) kosher restaurant called Abigael's. It is a big space, white-tablecloth place. And although the menu is pricey, they have this thing called "Coffee Theater", which is coffee and desserts served in a showy, ostentatious, and supposedly entertaining fashion. This might be fun.

I was at Abigael's once, last year. We has a terrific meal, and had ordered the "Coffee Theater Experience". Waiters started bringing out carts and coffee and fiery equipment, when, suddenly and unexpectedly, alarms are sounding. From my husband's ventilator.
(My husband is almost completely paralysed in a Captain Pike kind of way, that a Trekkie and Stephen Hawking fan like myself finds very attractive. He has a ventilator hooked up to a spigot in his neck. You could mistake him for the Six Million Dollar Rabbi, who happens to have a budget-conscious HMO, so when they rebuilt him it wasn't actually with superhuman abilities.)
Well, breathing is very important to my husband, more important, I guess, than coffee or theater, or even dessert is to me, so we paid our check and bid Abigael's a hasty adieu. But I vowed on that day, "Someday I shall return to Abigael's and partake of the Coffee Theater Experience"
So, if we go there, it can be an entertaining time and the fulfillment of my vow.
If we decide to go elsewhere, I will fulfill my vow at another time.
See, coffee, dessert, theater and drama.
