After a tasty Dominican supper, we went to the very baroque Church of St. Michael\u2019s on West 99th Street to attend Amor Artis chorus and orchestra perform Handel in Italy<\/em>. Handel worked in Italy from 1706-1710. Among the cantatas, mezzo-soprano Sarah Nelson Craft enchanted us with Armida Abbandonata<\/em>.<\/p>\n

#WhiteLoveListens Potlucks are meals sponsored by Judson Memorial Church members to discuss how to make racial justice work. I joined a Brooklyn group of people all white, mostly elderly. We each talked about being raised in a white environment. To quote the expression, you don\u2019t know what you don\u2019t know. The evening provided a launching pad for further thinking, for getting out of the box.<\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome to one of the few places in NYC where cell phones and people are silent, food and drinks are for after the movie and everyone has a wonderful time.\u201d This message is flashed on the MOMA screen before the movies that attract packed audiences. Mr. Cary Grant is a wonderful collection of the suave one\u2019s various charming movies. Since he and Alfred Hitchcock are among my most admired movie pros, I paid one dollar to see \u201cNorth by Northwest.\u201d It\u2019s such fun living in NYC and going to a 1959 movie that features 1950s Manhattan: Cary Grant strolling into the Plaza where in real-life he had a suite; Eva Marie Saint in couture chosen in Berdorfs for her by Hitchcock; the aerial shot of the UN; the Bernard Herrmann music.<\/p>\n
