Billi Pod's Tuesday Report

Good afternoon everyone!!


Since I have already blogged about my battle(s) with The Bieber Nation, I think that I will just give you loyal and faithful readers a short posting on Billi Pod’s activities for today.


Hold on now ... stop the applause ...


Report card on BROADWAY BY THE YEAR 1921 @ Town Hall==>A<==as in super-excellent, as usual. Scott Seigle stages another highly professional production with remarkable talent. It was a fun evening.

Billi Pod’s entertainment event for this evening is ...


8:00==>CURTIS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA @ Carnegie Hall - works by Hindemith-Kozertmusik for Strings and Brass; Higdon (who?)-Violin Concerto; and, Shostakovich-Symphony No. 5. (complimentary ticket)


For your information, The Curtis Institute of Music was founded in 1924 in Philadelphia, PA, and some alumni are: Leonard Bernstein, Alan Gilbert (current conductor of the New York Philharmonic), Lang Lang, Yefim Bronfman and approximately 50% of the Philadelphia Orchestra.


Billi Pod is more than happy to report that Spring Training arrived yesterday with the pitchers and catchers reporting for duty at the facility down in Tampa.


Most of the early news concerns ace CC Sabathia who dropped 25 lbs. in the off season and mentioned that he might opt out of his contract at the end of the season to explore free agency. I believe this to be merely a negotiating ploy, but nonetheless, it caused quite a headline fury --


“Sabathia Loses Weight and Keeps His Options Open” - New York Times


“CC’S CHANGE-UP - Hints he may opt out after this season” - New York Post


"CRUNCH TIME! - Source: CC Likely To Opt Out of Deal After Season” - Daily News


Oh the drama!!!


Will close with ...


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


“Living organically means your organs can have multiple orgasms.”


GO GATORS AND GO YANKEES!!
