By the numbers

Here is the statistical summary of our weekend in New York:

• 3.5: Number of hours in our layover in Dulles. Our Detroit-LaGuardia flight was cancelled, and at least we got a rebooking for the same day, I guess.
  
• 2: "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" sightings.
  
• Countless: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows sightings.
  
• 6: Number of hours of torrential downpour on Sunday, causing us to cancel our planned outing to the Cloisters.
  
• 24: Number of hours it took my shoes to dry.
  
• 3/3: Fraction of dishes at the Chinese place we went to in the Village that were awesome.
  
• 9-12: Our places in the VIP line for the Daily Show. We were in the front row!
  
• 1.5/5: Fraction of mezzes at the Turkish place that I liked. This was disappointing -- I love Greek food and Middle Eastern food, so I should like Turkish food, right? Wrong.
  

We had a great weekend, despite the travel annoyances and the weather. I finally made it to MoMA, which was awesome -- the Serra sculptures were great. Unfortunately, much of the photography section was closed, due to installation of a new exhibit, but we got to see the Barry Frydlender and JoAnn Verburg exhibits. Oh, I love photography and sculpture and modern art -- I need to make more of an effort to see modern art exhibitions.
