Good morning everyone.
It is a beautiful fall morning up here in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.
This impels Billi Pod to say==>Have a great weekend all of you Worker Bees out there in the hinterlands and in the vast wilderness known as cyberspace.
And ... now that October 21, 2011 is officially over worldwide we can all acknowledge that The End of the World didn’t happen and that nut case Harold Camping was wrong yet again, just like he was about May 21, 2011. At least this time people didn’t quit their jobs, give away their possessions, empty their bank accounts or, commit suicide.
It is going to be interesting to see how this false prophet attempts to talk his way out of this and what his next prediction(s) will be. Oh, rest assured ... there will be many more predictions.
Yes ... yes ... I know ... I know ... Billi Pod has spent way too much time on this issue but he just finds the whole issue/process fascinating.
Anyway ... moving on ...
Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s SWIMMING IN THE SHALLOWS==>B+<==funny, thoughtful and well acted.
The theater is so far West that it is almost in The Hudson River ... not joking. The house was sold-out and the audience was mostly early 30s and very much into the performance. Too bad it closes tonight. Billi Pod is glad he was able to see it.
Billi Pod has an entertainment doubleheader today ...
2:00==>THE COMPLETE WORLD OF SPORTS (abridged) - “The popular Reduced Shakespeare Company returns to answer some of life's more daunting questions: Is bowling actually a sport? How about poker or competitive eating? Who invented curling? And perhaps most vexing, can Muggles really play Quidditch? No sport is safe.” (Off Broadway - discounted TDF ticket)
This is the theater company that has given us: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged); The Complete History of America (abridged); and, The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged). I love their work and am really looking forward to this show.
8:00==>BILL BOWERS - BEYOND WORDS - “A collection of Mime, Music, and Monologues in a poignant journey that continues Bowers' ongoing investigation of silence in our culture, set against the backdrop of ‘Small town America.’" (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)
All of my theater friends who have seen this show have liked it a lot so Billi Pod is looking forward to it.
First of all ... thanks for all of the positive and supportive comments ...
BUT ... even though President Obama has announced that all of the troops in Iraq will be coming home by the end of the year ... Alex and his Company will not be among them. I really can’t go into more details.
I do deeply appreciate your thoughts and concerns.
GO GATORS!!
