On Monday, my ballet crazy pal and I continued our dance marathon by going to ABT\u201ds \u201cDon Quixote\u201d and watched, transfixed, as Ivan Vasiliev flew around the Met stage. Later that week we returned to the Met to see \u201cLa Bayadere\u201d. The second act is everything. The corps de ballet was perfect, twenty-four dancers who glided in unison.<\/p>\n

Like citing the first robin of spring, I realized the annual Fleet Street celebration was in town when I saw several sailors in sparkling white uniforms gathered around a fire truck. In its 26th year, it celebrates the maritime services. Remember \u201cOn the Town\u201d? Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, and Jules Munshin cavorted around 1944 Manhattan in those camp sailor boy outfits.<\/div>\n
