Good morning my loyal and faithful readers. It is freezing cold in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World==>14º at 8:30am this morning. The wind chill brings it down to the single digits and it is supposed to be like this for the next several days. Barf!!
Adding to the chill factor this morning was the breaking news that Keith Olbermann and MSNBC have parted ways, that Friday night’s broadcast was his last with this cable-news network. Depending on who you read he was either fired or he quit on his own accord.
Rumors have it that his “termination agreement” mandates that he remain off the air for the remainder of the year. There are also rumors flying that CNN is interested in picking him up. CNN? I doubt it, they are too staid for his reporting style. Face it, you either love him or hate him ... there ain’t much middle ground.
Now on to other things, like ...
Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC concert==>super excellent. Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1 performed by Radu Lupu was sublime. A wonderful evening for a classical music lover like moi.
Even though it is freezing out, today is an entertainment doubleheader for Billi Pod --
3:00==>FLIPZOIDS - “A 70yo Filipino woman crosses paths with a young social misfit on a deserted beach in Southern California.” (Off-Broadway - complimentary ticket). This is playing at a theater on my block.
8:00==>HOW I FELL IN LOVE - “Two lost souls haplessly seek romance as they stumble into adulthood. They start to question the meaning of fate, friendship, and true love. (Off-Broadway - complimentary ticket). This is playing at a theater 6 North/South blocks from PHC.
As an observation - since both of these shows are through my ticket services, therefore “complimentary,” I have to attend or risk being charged a hefty surcharge and/or possibility being booted-out of the service, so ... hope it doesn’t get too much colder this evening.
Musings from THE MIND OF BILLI POD (a memoir in progress):
“‘Contact your doctor if you have an erection lasting more than 4 hours.’ Really? Get real - no guy is EVER going to do that!”
GO JETS AND GO GATORS AND GO YANKEES!!
