happy holidays
while this december has been more than a little bleak and joyless, this afternoon was pretty sublime. i got to hang out with a shockingly huge number of folks that by some divine intervention of the stars were all available and in town for a last minute getogether at aunt ruth’s apartment on central park west.
grateful to ruth for a great food spread — and with the apartment not being finished with construction, etc.!
very grateful uncle stanley felt well enough to make the trek down from connecticut via train — and go for the walk in central park.
much love to everyone who could make it. i know there are some folks that were missing but i think we’ll need to figure out something else if there are more than this many people — it was A LOT of people!
nb: the camera was passed around to anyone who would take it so a lot of these photos in this set (http://www.flickr.com/photos/erika_herzog/sets/72157611858339016/) were taken by alec, mariel, emma, jessie and i think josh — as well as me (see trees and drains).
