how do you get to carnegie hall?
penny and i can tell you! you take the q train - which is penny's very favorite train today!
we attended The New York Pops: Jim Henson's Musical World today, and it was incredible. first of all, that many people singing "Sing" together is just fantastic, and when i tell you that the finale was the cast of sesame street, most of the muppets you can think of off the top of your head, and PAUL friggin' WILLIAMS singing "Rainbow Connection" you will understand why i still have mascara pooling on my cheeks.
we were sitting directly under statler and waldorf, if that gives you any indication of how AMAZING our seats were.
did john tartaglia ask how to get to carnegie hall and statler and waldorf answered
"practice"? yes. did "frogs and dogs and bears and chickens and things" get mentioned twice? yes. was "mahna mahna" performed live? yes. did john tartaglia ask "how to get to sesame street" and sesame street's alan reply "practice" and john mutter "it's a running gag..."? yes. SO GOOOOOOOOD.

the ny pops, essential voices usa, john tartaglia and the muppets performed all of the hits - there were fraggles, there was sesame street, there was muppet show & movies. it was truly a wonderful hour. i'm not sure penny was as enthralled as i was, but she was really an excuse for me to go (i used penny's aunt jodi like this for many years). i paid an obscene amount of money so that we had these exclusive seats, and went to a "family party" after the show. here is a photo which demonstrates our differing levels of excitement:

penny is good at questions
this weekend we attended two seders - one at each of penny's sets of grandparents' house. she was so excited to see her cousins, and to eat matzoh balls.
we had a great time learning the first question, and though she might not need it for another year, penny just hangs out singing it - notice her continuing love of spider-man.
