Oh what a beautiful morning

5:00AM Graham Screaming. Change poopy diaper.

8:00 AM Graham vomits banana and formula

9:10 AM Arrive for 9:15 Dr's appt. concerning Carpal Tunnel System

9: 45 AM Leave doctor's office without having been seen, after leaving small piece of my mind

10:00 AM Arrive Princeton Junction train station for 10:12 train. Because of holiday, metered parking available.

10:03 AM Arrive Princeton Junction station convenience store. Thirsty. Irritated. Need caffeine. Because of holiday, store closed.

10:15 AM Mary calls my cell. Graham has puked again. Should we go to Larchmont for holiday? Will she brave the Turnpike alone with one sick kid and one boisterous one?

10:28 AM 10:12 train arrives. Because of holiday and circus at Madison Sq. Garden (take Natalie?), train full of jabbering families.

11:30 AM Train near Secaucus by now. Phone rings. It's Rick, my lunch engagement, for which I had rushed out of Dr's appointment and for which Jon, my COO and boss, was energetically polishing sales collateral for me to print in New York office. Rick is violently ill and has stayed in Princeton.

11:31 AM Call Ted at Midtown to check on replacement lunch. Ted can't do it. Conference call. Ted tells of how Henry once puked for 24 hour straight while having strep throat at the same time.

11:40 AM Arrive Penn Station. Set off for Rock. Center on foot, psyched for a falafel with hot sauce from place on 48th st.

11:58 AM Arrive 48th st. Falafelteria closed for Purim. Thankfully, nearby Noodle shop is good consolation prize.

12:15 PM Check in with Mary. Trip to Larchmont is on. Thank God I don't have to go back to Princeton, trip not entirely in vain.
