Friday - Get Well David!

Good Friday morning my loyal and faithful readers.

Let me start off with-->My deepest and heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to my dear friends, the actor David Huddleston and his wife Sarah Koeppe, as David begins his recovery from open heart aortic valve replacement surgery performed yesterday at Cleveland Hospital. Get well soon!!!!

Next on to baseball:

Yankees/Detroit game yesterday-->finally the mostly dormant Bomber bats came alive, exploding for 9 runs in the bottom of the 6th to insure victory for Phil Hughes, whose record is now 15-5. The Yankees now lead The Rays by 1 game and The FuckSox by 7.

This was my 38th game of the season and The Yankees record for those games-->24 wins - 14 losses.

Roger Clemens-->the former Yankee ace was indicted yesterday for allegedly lying to Congress regarding his use of performance enhancing drugs. Well, all I can say is-->he brought it on himself because he “demanded” to appear before the Congressional Committee in order to “clear his name.” Dumb asshole.

Report card on AN ERROR OF THE MOON, a fictional portrait of the brothers Edwin and John Wilkes Booth-->B+. I found the staging, direction and acting to be outstanding. The story line is a bit iffy but none-the-less, it was an excellent theater experience and I highly recommend it.

Tonight I am seeing SUMMER SHORTS 4: SERIES B-“the acclaimed series of new American one-act plays is an impressive array of new short plays by some of the country's top play writing talents.” I will see SERIES A on Saturday night.

In closing, let me offer condolences to all of my male friends whose wives, girlfriends, significant others, whatever, are coercing them into seeing the recently released EAT PRAY LOVE chick-flic starring Julia Roberts:

“Dragging a man to see the movie “Eat Pray Love” is as cruel as forcing a vegan to eat at a steakhouse. Most guys just don’t care about the existential problems facing a 30-something woman suffering a mid-life crisis. Not even Julia Roberts can entice men to see this film.”

This is what goes through the minds of the poor male souls who have been forced to endure this movie:

EAT - (popcorn)

PRAY - (for the projector to break)

LOVE - (to get out of this fucking theater)

Finally, a male response to this movie has just been optioned to the company headed by Steve Carell (no joke), and its title is:

DRINK PLAY F@#K

Have a great weekend everyone.

GO YANKEES!!
