Friday - Dark and Gloomy

It is dark and gloomy this morning in the Big Apple, a cool 63º at 8:00am.


Thunderstorms are forecast for early evening and that is not a good sign because tonight’s entertainment event for Billi Pod is ...


7:05pm==>YANKEES vs. COLORADO ROCKIES, with AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi on the mound for The Bronx Bombers.


The annual “Old-Timers Game” is scheduled for 11:30am on Sunday, before the 2:00pm Rockies game. Joe Torre will be there, in pinstripes for the first time since October 2007.


The game and ceremonies are always a lot of fun and, of course, Billi Pod will be there in his usual seat.

The reviews of the NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC’s production of “The Cunning Vixen” have been mixed, with a couple of the reviews very negative.


These are excerpts from the review in The NY Post --


“ ... overly literal animal costumes and unfocused acting distracted from the gentle story, suggesting a community theater production of ‘Cats.’” Ouch!


“Expectations were high ... but musically and dramatically this ‘Vixen’ just missed the mark.”


At least Billi Pod wasn’t alone in his feelings about the show and he feels a bit vindicated in his decision to leave at intermission ... jus sayin’


The Gators will play Vanderbilt at 2:00pm on ESPN. If they win they will advance to the Championship Series.


A Very Happy Weekend to all of my Worker Bee friends out there in the vast hinterlands.


GO GATORS AND GO YANKEES!!
