Actually, it started to wind down three days ago, on the 23rd, which, incidentally, happened to be my 32nd anniversary at my workplace. Not that I got flowers, a cake, or a luncheon, or anything!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be that a it may, there is always one, tell tale sign that tells, for me, when the year is quickly drawing to the close. That is when I leave work each night, walking to the subway underneath the tunnels beneath Lincoln Center. To my right, there are a series of window spots for posters advertising upcoming events at Lincoln Center. And every time I see the poster--always the same one--for the annual presentation of George Balanchine's "The Nutcracker"--which is basically what the New York City Ballet lives the rest of its year on!!!!!!!!!--I know that the year is drawing to a close.
Well, darlings, I saw the poster Monday evening, at 6PM! It was most likely up before that, but, from that moment on, I know that 2013 is quickly spiraling downward, when it will eventually transition into History!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to mention I have to start thinking about tickets for "The Nutcracker." I myself have not been in a couple of years, and that was before meeting my partner. So, I think it is high time the two of us went! The romantic Tchaikovsky score, the Land Of The Sugar Plums set, and my favorite moment of all--the Christmas tree growing before your eyes.... it has to be experienced once, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!! And since I have not been in awhile, it is time to do so with the one I love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will try to go before leaving town for the Holidays. And I can guarantee you--here, there is no Nasty Hostess, like at Delemarchier!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmmm.....that annual event is coming up, sooner than I think!!!!!!!!!!!
