No, we did not pass through Grand Central today. But it would have been nice if we were able to do so. Instead, our route brought us to a subway station I've never used before, as well as an area of the city I've never been to before on foot.

When we woke up, neither of us had an idea of what we wanted to do. So, RQS looked up the "Freebies" available on Club Free Time to find something cheap. Settling on a play called "The Giggling Granny", we planned our day around our evening's entertainment.
RQS wanted to reorganize her kitchen a little, and have me help with fixing shelving that needed fixing. (Its fourth corner was improperly supported, and could collapse with the right force used against it.) So, we took everything out, and I inserted the support which leveled things out. Now, RQS can reload the shelves at her own convenience.
What I haven't mentioned yet, is that the Orange Monster started an illegal war today against Iran. Yes, it is a desperate attempt to distract people from the Epstein Files, but it poses great risk to the USA and to the world. Both RQS and I are appalled - even though the Iranian government deserves to be destroyed. Yet, it shows something else - the Orange Monster never negotiates in good faith. The Iranians believed that they were close to an agreement. (Too bad for them that they never read Ambrose Bierce and his Devil's Dictionary. They'd see that Peace is only a period of treachery between two wars.)
With all of this in mind, we both got dressed and went into NYC. Sadly, I was semi conscious during the play, and missed most of it. On the way back to the subway station, we stopped for gelato. And then we passed by two one-dish restaurants - one selling pasta, and the other selling Mac & Cheese. Both of these are places I want to try some time in the future.
Soon, we were on the train back home, and back in the apartment for SNL's cold open. One could tell that they had to rewrite everything to account for the big news of the day, and they referenced themselves in the skit. Once Weekend Update (the Real Fake News) was over, we turned off the TV and went to bed for the night.
