Alice in InfoLand

The women in my book-discussion group are mostly in their mid-70’s, cultured and cosmopolitan. Many of them attend performances of opera, ballet, etc. at Lincoln Center in Manhattan. During our meeting on Tuesday I overheard this wonderful exchange:
A: When you saw Tosca on Friday night, did you go over to look at David Blaine in his bubble?
B: No, I couldn’t be bothered. That’s certainly a waste of a good plaza.
