Greetings from seat 20D on board Delta Flight 88 en route to New York City. I’m heading back to the Big Apple to watch (and even kind of take part in) a really cool and amazing performance of Mozart’s Così fan tutte at the Gershwin Hotel tomorrow night and Sunday afternoon organized by my Twitter friend, Jennifer Peterson. I’ll have lots more to say about this in the next few days, but for now, take a look at what Jennifer has posted on her website. The food and beverage service has just started, so I’m going to sign off for now….
