Headed down the stairs @ the 49th street subway stop, trying to wind down a cellphone convo before I lost my signal and all of a sudden a white tennis shoe flies past my head and lands next to me. Uh........
I looked back and see Judah Friedlander! Complete w/ his trademark trucker's cap (of course I didn't catch what it said) and glasses. As he scurried down the stairs to retrieve his shoe he said to no one in particular - That was a first! I kept moving w/ the flow of traffic as he rushed passed the rest of us and broke into a run as if a subway was coming - but it wasn't. Then he kept that pace as he weaved thru the crowd and disappeared from sight.

No Water Needed
When I was headed to St. Pat's to get publicity pics taken a week ago I walked past the Rock Center and saw them putting together what looked like some new version of the octopus ride where the Xmas tree used to be.
Today I found out that it was not in fact an amusement ride but an electric fountain. Cool.

Headed back already
Because calories don't exist when you travel (har) I had mentioned that a Lamar's Donut for breakfast would be good since I can't even remember the last time I had one, so while I got ready for the day (I actually got to sleep in a little) my 'rents were kind enough to get some for me! :)
Then it was on the road back to Omaha again and to meet my bro @ Hollywood Diner for lunch. One of my friends stopped by the diner too, to say goodbye one last time as she rushed for her matinee call. Where does the time go?!
Time to say goodbye again.

Another early morning as I got up to meet a friend for breakfast @ the Green Gateau in Lincoln. (I got to drive a car!) Came home and the 'rents and I hopped in the car to head to Omaha again to pick up my bro and journey on to see my g-rents in Iowa.
I requested lunch @ Runza and discovered they had new burgers (see pic). The server @ the drive thru saw me take pics and asked if we were visting. Uh... I apologized to the others for making them look like tourists, assuring them that they'll probably pay me back when they visit again in NYC. ;)
On to Iowa. My grandpa hasn't been doing all that well lately so it was nice to see him in person rather than just hear about him from a distance. I don't want to borrow trouble so am just hoping for the best as it seems his health shows signs of slowly improving.
Back to Omaha, my bro was kind enough to offer to take the 'rents back to Lincoln so I could use the car for the rest of the day as I made more visits.
Picked up a friend so we could go visit another friend, her little one and meet her mom. I just can't get over how fast kids grow! 
Then my friend and I took off for the Playhouse to join her hubby and get moonlight tickets for Company!
The show was sold out but luckily not everyone showed so we got in @ the last minute. As we took our seats in the balcony I discovered the person I was sitting by was a former co-star of mine!
After the show, we joined members of the cast @ Goldbergs and other actors happened to be there too! It was so great getting to see people I hadn't expected to and catch up.
Found out that today was the first day in 102 days that the temp had rose about 60 degrees in NE. Lincoln was just 3 degrees shy of 70! Glad the nice weather decided to show up while I was here! :)

The Visit Continues
My friend dropped me off @ Panera on her way to work where I took advantage of their free wi-fi while waiting to meet a friend. I was wearing my "Joba Rules" shirt ($5 @ Modell's!) and I overheard an older guy comment on it to his wife and the other couple they were sitting w/ @ a nearby table. When they were getting ready to leave, he came up to me and asked if I was a Yankees fan. I said I was a fan of Joba. He told me I'd be a fan of the Yankees once I went to a game. Doubt it, but nice thought.
My friend arrived and after much gossiping and catching up it was already time for my next connection. The 'rents came to Panera to pick me up and then it was off to Cheeseburger in Paradise to meet another friend for lunch. Time flew again and I was running late to meet another friend @ her house to see her new baby! Got some pics and then it was off again to MJ Java to briefly say 'hi' to the guys I filmed Amerigo the Brave w/. They are filming their next short already and once again it is quite the challenging script! Can't wait to see what they do w/ it. Where to next? Moonlight tickets for Cliffhanger! @ The Playhouse. Then a meal @ Camille's Sidewalk Cafe (another great place for free wi-fi!) and it was back to The Playhouse to see some of my friends in the show on opening night!
Afterwards, the cast, friends and fam went to Old Chicago for some eats. Lots of laughs and great stories shared. (I also got the impression that if some sport store was able to sell "Joba Rules" shirts in NE they'd make a killing!)
Late again! And we still need to get to Lincoln....night.
