Well my loyal and faithful readers out there in the vast wilderness known as cyberspace, the entertainment stats for the month of July have been compiled and, in my humble opinion, they reached a new level of awesomeness.
Yes ... yes ... I know ... I use the word “awesome” way way too much, but the word truly reflects the magnitude of Billi Pod’s activities for the month IMHO ... so ...
Here they are for your consideration and review ... but remember ...
I just report - you decide ...
In checking my daily log (log, not diary - real guys don’t keep diaries) I find that during the month of July 2011 Billi Pod attended/saw/did the following:
1 Broadway show (Chicago); 21 [yes, that is the correct number - I double-checked it] Off Broadway shows; 2 classical music concerts; 1 rock music concert (Sir Paul McCartney @ Yankee Stadium); 3 Movies (Tree of Life; Horrible Bosses; and, Larry Crowne); and, 7 Yankee games, including Jeter’s 3000th hit game (5 wins and 2 losses).
The highlights of the month were the Sir Paul McCartney concert, which I attended with John Scott Reed, and being present at Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed and Ego Built, on Saturday, July 9th when Derek Jeter hit a home run to reach the historic 3,000 hit plateau.
Billi Pod was also able to have face time with Gordon and Carole Warner of Tavares, FL and with some of his AA buddies (you know who you are).
July also marked the 13th year since I lost my dear friend Bill “Moon” Mullon of Anna Maria, FL. He is still missed.
I think the most awesome of all of the stats is the fact that during the month Billi Pod went to some entertainment event every single day/night and, also, he had 5 entertainment doubleheaders.
All of the above happened despite nasty weather and a blistering heat wave at the end of the month.
Yes, friends, family and other loyal and faithful readers, these entertainment stats personify why this 77 year-old retiree, an expatriate and reverse snowbird from the deep South, who is known as Billi Pod, still lives in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.
A new level? Well, it’s up to you to decide ... so ... have at it ...
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
