Summer catch-up

Summer how did you fly past me? Truthfully it didn't really fly so much as sneak by with arms full of Netflix and hefty electricity bills. Even still, the mid-year months redeemed themselves from being denounced as mere sweat-soaked scorchers by providing a solid amount of goodness begging (successfully) to be enjoyed by us:

• Anthony Jeselnik performed a deliciously offensive set at Caroline's on Broadway, taking time for audience Q&A that was equally hilarious despite its being undeniably improvised.
• We rafted down the white water of the Lehigh River in Pennsylvania on a beautiful Sunday in June.
• Melissa Lee of CNBC moderated a fascinating discussion about women on Wall Street with former BofA executive, Sally Krawcheck, and hedge fund manager, Karen Finerman.
• The Human Rights Watch Film Festival screened over a dozen films at theaters across the City including "An Unreal Dream: The Michael Morton Story", a film that highlights the journey of a wrongly convicted Texan.
• We ventured to Coney Island to rejoice in Nathan's hotdogs, sprawling ocean and the Cyclone roller coaster.
• Tom Hanks made his Broadway debut in Nora Ephron's Tony nominated "Lucky Guy".
• We ate our way through Greenwich Village on a food tour with a good friend visiting from Florida.
• We traveled to Mystic, Connecticut to meet Jonnie's mother and grandmother for a lovely long weekend highlighted by delicious meals, a sunset cruise and a jaunt at Mystic Pizza.
• Sigourney Weaver stared alongside David Hyde Pierce (of Fraiser), Kristine Nielson, and Billy Magnussen in "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike", winner of the best play Tony.
