IN WHICH WE PLAN TO SHVITZ OURSELVES SILLY IN THE CITY

At this point I'm well used to not getting a chance to read the Sunday papers until Tuesday, and only get to skim them when I do...but today with Noodle home from school early, I got a chance to plop down on the couch with her and actually read while she half-watched My Little Pony.

And to my surprise and delight the Times travel section featured not the usual 1%er fantasy-journey pieces ("The Hamptons to Macchu Picchu, By Balloon and Sedan Chair")  but an honest-to-goodness useful quick piece on getting around with kids in the city without causing a wallet hemorrhage.
