Billi Pod Says==>TGIF To All Of His Worker Bee Friends

Good morning all of my loyal and faithful readers out there in the hinterlands and in the wilderness known as cyberspace.


I want to start this posting with a major TGIF shout out to all of my Worker Bee friends who are eagerly awaiting the 5:00pm bell so they can begin their weekend festivities/chores/whatever.


Just remember==>Worker Bees can’t start the weekend until the FINAL bell rings. It is your duty to remain active and productive until the very end of the your work week, but, of course, most of you Worker Bees know this ... but ...


Billi Pod feels it is necessary to specifically warn ...


Worker Bee #1 - whose name rhymes with==>Peed;


Worker Bee #2 - whose name rhymes with==>Beers;


Worker Bee #3 - whose name rhymes with==>Cypher; and


Worker Bee #4 - whose name rhymes with==>Bris


that he has received information from reliable sources that each of you have been attempting to leave your employment sites early on Friday afternoons. This is totally unacceptable so you are each warned that further transgressions will place you on Billi Pod’s Time-Out List and, trust me, you don’t want this to happen. So ... you are each warned, and ... you only get one ... so ...

Anyway ... moving on ...


Last night’s NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA concert earns another grade of==>A.


My discounted TDF ticket seat was excellent, in the orchestra, row S, seat 20. The performance, Bruckner’s Symphony No. 8, clocked in at 83 minutes and when it was over the audience gave the orchestra and guest conductor, Zubin Mehta, a roaring ovation.


We had hoped for an encore performance ... but ... alas ... it didn’t happen.


I am happy to report that no cellphones went off during the performance. The New York Times had a very interesting story about the culprit, who was ... tada ... a senior citizen ... with a new iPhone. Check it out ...

Interestingly, the people seated around me were all talking about the incident and everyone, including moi, double checked to make sure our phones were silenced. Now ... if we could only silence coughing and sneezing ... oh well ... one thing at a time ... I guess ...


Tonight’s entertainment event is ...


8:00==>INSTINCT - “Four cohabiting epidemiologists fight to contain a potentially devastating virus, while trying to keep their relationships from unraveling - but nothing is more contagious than human desire.” (Off Broadway - $9.00 TDF ticket)


Without a doubt this show will fall into the “love-it or hate-it” category. It is playing at a theater on my block.


Looking forward to the weekend==>Billi Pod will be in a pro-football couch potato mode, without a doubt. Will make all of my entertainment plans around the BRONCOS/PATRIOTS game on Saturday night and the GIANTS/GREEN BAY game on Sunday afternoon.


Now before you get too judgmental I need to report that the weather in The Big Apple over the weekend is gonna be frigid. On Saturday the low will be 19º and on Sunday it will be 21º. I rest my case.

I am happy to report that Christian and Kelly Smith of Columbia, SC, and their posse, will descend on Polk F**king County aka PFC this weekend to visit Gina, Army Guy and Saylor. Nice!! Have fun!!


GO GINA! GO ARMY GUY!! GO SAYLOR!!!
