Sunday==>Another Interesting Doubleheader.


Sunday==>Damn, it is a gloomy morning here in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World. Haze and fog at 10:30am with a temperature of 66ยบ.

Oh well ... no need to be in a funk ... so I will begin today’s posting, as usual, with Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s entertainment event ...

THE NORWEGIANS, a comedy about a pair of nice Norwegian gangsters and two revenge-minded gals, in Minnesota==>A-

Folks, the show is totally politically incorrect but it is also in-your-face outrageously funny. Texas and Minnesota get raked over the coals along with morality, forgiveness and non-Norwegians.

I was in the mood for this type of humor so I really enjoyed the show.

It is playing at The Drilling Company Theatre on West 78th Street, has a running time of 1:30, with an intermission, and runs through October 27th.

Billi Pod says==>if you are in the mood for off-kilter humor, then this is the show for you. If not ... stay far far away.

When the show was over I came back to PHC and settled in for a sports evening in front of the tube.

First was The Rays/Boston FuckSox game from that fetid cesspool known as Fenway Park. 

The FuckSox kicked butt again, winning 7-4 as David Ortiz aka Big Papi hit two homers off David Price. The FuckSox now have a 2-0 lead in the ALDS.

Game 3 is Monday down at that disgrace known as Tropicana Field.

Just remember, my loyal and faithful readers and followers ... your favorite blogger predicted that The FuckSox would go all the way and ultimately win the World Series.

Then it was ...

The Florida Gators/Arkansas game down in The Swamp.

As you probably know, The Gators won 30-10 to improve their record to 4-1, 3-0 in the SEC. 

Solomon Patton and Loucheiz Purifoy both had stellar games and replacement QB Tyler Murphy looked very comfortable, completing 16 of 22 passes for 240 yards.

Next up for coach Muskrat and The Gators will be The LSU Tigers next Saturday @ 3:30pm in Baton Rouge.

Moving on ...

Today is an entertainment doubleheader ... beginning with ...

2:00==>NATURAL AFFECTION - “A troubled young man returns home from boarding school to find that his mother is now living with a shady car salesman.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)

Yeah ... I know ... gonna be a lot of yelling, screaming and cussing ... you can bet on that.

This 1963 drama is written by William Inge (Picnic, Bus Stop), is playing at the Theater Row Complex on my block,  has a running time of 2:00, with intermission, and runs through October 26th.

Then, for the evening it will be ...

7:00==>BRONX BOMBERS - “The World Premiere of an examination of how baseball’s most storied franchise has always remained focused on maintaining a great team, even when dealing with some of the game’s most iconic and tempestuous personalities.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)

In the cast is one of my favorite actors, Keith Nobbs, playing the hot-tempered manager Billy Martin.

This show is still in previews, is playing at The Duke on 42nd Street, has a running time of 2:00, with intermission, and runs through October 19th.

So, there you are. I think it looks like a pretty interesting afternoon/evening ... so ... stayed tuned ...

HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE WEEKEND EVERYONE!!

Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>3.42 miles (or, 7,462 steps)

Total mileage since 7/1/13==>334.71 miles (average 3.45 miles per day)

GO GATORS!! GO RAYS!!
