Coal Miners to Cigar Factories

Today we went to see "Billy Elliot".   We got half price tickets at the kiosk behind our hotel.   (this is almost a secret location---in Brooklyn, just get off the subway at the Jay stop and it's right there)  There was
barely anyone in line.   I was excited, as this was my first pick for a play.  
It is always exciting to see theater in NYC, and we wished we had done more of this.   We both loved this play, great music by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and a good story, of a boy who lives in a poor mining town in England where the workers are striking, to no avail.  (  Billy Elliot)
After the play, we walked to Hillary and Ken's hotel, and had a nice dinner in the Cuban restaurant there.   They are in a good location on Lexington street near the theater district.   We did not have cigars after dinner, however!
We then came back to our hotel.   I have a cold, which is getting worse and worse.   It is going into my lungs, and am thinking it is bronchitis.   I am trying to rest and take it easy
