Tuesday

Yesterday before the Radio City Music Hall show started they made an announcement that everybody look left and smile. It was aid that they took 360 photographs of the entire audience and people can find themselves when they look. I have been trying to find that website without any success and it aggravates me to no end. This would have been such a cool thing.

Also in the show there was a scene when Santa flew into new York and it was shown in 3D. We all got special glasses and the pictures were fantastic. At one time a wild goose flew so close to me that I almost "grabbed" its beak. There was no shortage of electronic wizardry in that show.

I remember many years ago when all that was done were the Rockettes lifting their legs and the orchestra rising out of the pit in the front. Boy, times have changed.

We drove through Times Square last night. That place is amazing. It does not matter how late or cold is there are people everywhere.

Security was very noticeable. At the Radio City Music Hall's entrance they examined every person entering. This naturally created a block long line. At Times Square there were police everywhere. The presence of security personnel was overwhelming. We were kind of used to it because we saw them at the Metropolitan Opera already early last week.

It's scary world we live in where thing like these become the norm.
