There is no better incentive to clean up your apartment then when you have guests come over, and this weekend was no different. Saturday after some swimming and a leisurely brunch of tasty matzoh brei (oh how I love thee - so much I even eat you occasionally during the other 51 weeks of the year, though mainly if we happen to be out of bread for toast), there was a few hours of serious cleaning action going on. I even mopped! I haven't done that in about a year (there's a reason we shell out the dough for someone to do it for us). It really isn't that bad when you only do it once a year. Though I did realize we probably need a new mop. Then it was off to prep a easy roast chicken and potatoes, and relax once Sam's aunt and cousin came over.
We had a nice leisurely dinner and then headed over to The Brooklyn Museum for First Saturday, and mainly to check out the movie. We were lucky that it wasn't sold out, despite getting there after 7:30, when they distribute tickets. But maybe we weren't that lucky. Because halfway through the film, the movie seemed to skip back to a scene from 1/2 an hour earlier. It turns out that the museum was sent two copies of the first two reels. It may have been for the best - the movie was good, but we were all a bit confused as to what was going on, since the sound was a bit screwy and we could only hear half the dialogue. A few months back, something similar happened where there was a power outage in the projection room, so they couldn't even start the film. I guess that is what you get when its free.
