Saw this one coming a while back.

And I think it's a step in the right direction for them.

Honestly, I'd even be willing to pay a small fee for shows I *really* liked, if I could watch them sans ads and still be supporting the people who made them. Being able to download when I want, even with ads - and know I'm not doing anything "evil and wrong" - that's good.

*giggles*

Irreducible complexity, anyone?

Last time, Jenn!

It's $160 for 8 sessions. Less if you're a member. Considering how close the Y is to your house (and that Ana's friend goes there sometimes to swim in the evenings), that mightn't be a bad investment.

The programs at Chelsea Piers are $285 for a week-worth of sessions - and she has to be trustworthily toilet-trained before then. But they're really cool looking - an art/dance/skating one, and a dance/gymnastics/rock climbing program for pre-schoolers. Eee!

Incidentally, anybody with money to burn can always help my family support a wide range of not-for-profit programs, like the Central Park Zoo, or the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, or... well, whatever. Or they can donate their money more directly to the cause of their choice.
