Frickjrs: More NYC Stuff

More NYC Stuff

Well, its been awhile. Sorry I haven't had an update for awhile, but things are busy here in the Frick JR mansion in Alaska. I did want to set up a couple more pictures of my trip to NYC.

One of our first events in NYC was to see "Chicago" on broadway. I had seen the movie, of course, but I had never been to a show on Broadway before. It was actually a pretty cool experience. It is amazing what the actors can pull out on stage and how the audience has to use their imagination to fill in the "special effects." I was surprised how small the theater was, but it really made the show an initmate experience for the audience. A lot of fun! I hope to go again one day (this time with my beautiful wife, Jessica).

I thought this was a pretty cool picture of Times Square at night. This was after "Chicago" when we were looking for a place to eat.

This is in Ella's Stardust Lounge, a little 50's diner sort of place. However, it has a twist, as the waitstaff are all Broadway hopefuls who sing and dance all through your dinner. It was a lot of fun, but a little goes a long way and we didn't stay long. Still, it was kind of neat to think that your waitress would someday be playing on Broadway.

Relentless by Dean Koontz

Bestselling novelist Cullen "Cubby" Greenwich is a lucky man and he knows it. He makes a handsome living doing what he enjoys. His wife, Penny, a children's book author and illustrator, is the love of his life. Together, they have a brilliant six-year-old, Milo, affectionaly dubbed "Spooky," and a non-collie named Lassie, who's all but part of the family.

So Cubby knows he shouldn't let one bad review of his otherwise triumphant new book get to him-even if it does appear in the nation's premier newspaper and is penned by the much-feared, seldom-seen critic Shearman Waxx. Cubby knows that the best thing to do is ignore the gratuitously vicious, insulting, and inaccurate comments. Penny knows it; even little Milo knows it. If Lassie could talk, she'd tell Cubby to ignore them, too.

Ignore Shearman Waxx and his poison pen is just what Cubby intends to do. Until he happens to learn where the great man is taking his lunch. Cubby just wants to get a look at the mysterious recluse whose mere opinion can make or break a career-or a life.

But Shearman Waxx isn't what Cubby expects, and neither is the escalating terror that follows what seemed to be an innocent encounter. For Waxx gives criticism; he doesn't take it. He has ways of dealing with those who cross him that Cubby is only beginning to fathom. Soon Cubby finds himself in a desperate struggle with a relentless sociopath, facing an inexorable assault on far more than his life.

Fearless, funny, utterly compelling, Relentless is Dean Koontz at his riveting best, an unforgettable tale of the fragile bonds that hold together all that we most cherish-and of those who would tear those bonds assunder.
