It's nearly 10 and Jonathan is still asleep. I suspect, though, it's because he was up very, very late last night. I heard stirrings and a couple of whimpers until about 11! I heard some movement awhile ago, but nothing since.
Today was a bit adventure day for us all. I had an event in Greenwich Village tonight. So, I took Jonathan on the train with me (I screwed up and bought two one-ways into the city, but that's ok b/c I'll need one next week); we found Dave in Penn Station, and he pointed me in the right direction for the subway; Jonathan and Dave came home (with the help of a former Lehigh mom who lives a couple of blocks from us and has twins) on one of the busiest commuter trains. I, then, took the subway and walked a block to a coffee house where my friend was having his book debut. It was awesome. His poems are really kookie, but I also got to see 5 Waldsee folks that I haven't seen in ages. I was in charge of selling his book afterward (and after 2 glasses of wine, that may not have been a great idea). We hit some Korean bar afterward too. Then, around 9:15, I backtracked: walk, tab, train home. I was nervous about the return trip, mostly b/c I had to make the train home or be stuck (well, the trains run every hour or so, so not really "stuck") in NYC at night. And, as my luck would have it, the time that I had written down for the train wasn't when it came, so I called Dave to confirm. My instincts were right. I got home close to 11. It was really an awesome night. I had a blast. It was the first night I've been out w/o Jonathan.

Is this the same person who, when being handed off to a Lufthansa flight attendant for a 10 hr flight all by herself to Chicago and beyond to see relatives that she hardly knew, turned to Muti und Vati with only one questions: "What language should I speak?"
Or the same person who, 7 months later steered Muti und Kleine Schwerster thru Customs at JFK. "Here, Mom, see the green light. WE put our luggage on this cart and go through that line. It's simple. They just look at you and you're in. Come with me."
haha, you sure know how to put me in my place. Nothing could possibly have gone wrong as a kid; now, a lot can. ugh, you're right. Now that I've done it once, I'm golden.
