“I’m not gonna give the full three movie review, because I’m sure you’ve seen it, or don’t want spoilers. I don’t understand people who say, “You can spoil it for me, I’ll never watch it”. HOW DO YOU KNOW? This movie came out in 1977! Here I am watching it FORTY THREE YEARS LATER. ”
“I was a pretty serious kid. Like when I was playing dolls it was less about “fun parties” and more about constantly checking to make sure they had a dry diaper. I had a lot of anxiety. I had already gone to counseling because if my mom was ever one minute late picking me up, I thought I was being abandoned forever and panicked. No adult ever said, “Aw she’s so cute!” It was more like, “Let’s get her an activity”. Anyway, the windows of the train were down, and I’m sure I was feeling the wind in my bowl cut, trying to have a carefree afternoon. ”
“People love reenactments, but nobody recreates anything fun. It’s always, let’s redo the civil war. Let’s watch a sad person make a candle. Also, I never know how to react as an audience. Do I pretend that this candle maker is a ghost teaching me, or just appreciate the effort it took to make this outfit? Am I supposed to pretend I’m in the 1800s? Like, am I part of it and not holding my weight in the scene?! ”

Here are things I wrote or contributed to for Rockefeller Center, in addition to the tour experiences.
“The historian-guided Rockefeller Center Tour takes you from past to present, from John D. Rockefeller Jr.’s initial vision to its realization in the cultural center and National Historic Landmark of today. You’ll get an insider’s view of the incredible architecture, art, iconic buildings, outdoor gardens, and spaces found throughout Rockefeller Center.
The Rockefeller Center Tour Jr. offers a guided experience of the sights and stories of Rockefeller Center for the whole family. On tour together with two guides, children (recommended ages 6-12) will enjoy an interactive adventure full of discovery while their accompanying adults learn about the rich history and architecture of the 12-acre campus.”
