Billi Pod Reports on Dracula

It is a bright and very cold errands day in The Big Apple, the Greatest City in the World.

Have only one more item to purchase for Christmas and that will be no problem at all. This afternoon I will do the rather boring job of preparing the individual gift cards for the staff here at 420 W. 42nd Street. This is a large building so, as might be expected, the staff is rather large too:

1 Superintendent

7 Concierge/Doormen

1 Handyman

4 Porters

2 Part-time Staff

The “expected” tip(s) ranges from $50 to $100 - do the math. Oh well, it is one of the realities of living in a large doorman building in New York City.

Billi Pod’s report card on DRACULA==>C<==story line is kinda clunky in parts. Sets excellent. Cast OK except for Dracula, who sucked. He was about as scary as Grandma on a walker.

I think the critics will drive a stake through its heart.

And, speaking of sucking and stakes through hearts==>The Giants were unbelievably bad yesterday, blowing a 21-point lead with 8 minutes to play, leading to what one the papers described as: “...one of the most humiliating collapses in the 85-year history of the franchise.”

Tonight’s entertainment event --

7:00==>MUMMENSCHANZ - “the world famous Swiss performance troupe returns, with dazzling non-verbal theater where ordinary objects such as toilet paper, wires, tubes, and boxes spring to life to become fantastical characters.”

I absolutely LOVE this group and it is always a “must-see” for Billi Pod when they come to The City.

OK, got things and stuff to do, so let me close my loyal and faithful readers with:

Musings from THE MIND OF BILLI POD (a memoir in progress):

“Your wife/girlfriend will never appreciate a Xerox toner cartridge for Christmas.”

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
