3C==>C-.

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

To all of my Worker Bee friends==>I hope your work week is going well and that you are giving your all in order to maintain this fragile economy of ours, thereby protecting we poor, downtrodden and financially challenged pensioners. Thanks so very very much ... now keep at it!! Have you thought about getting a second job? Jus askin ...

Moving on ...

Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s entertainment event ...

3C, the Rattlestick Theater show about roommates Brad, Connie and Linda==>C-.

The title of this disappointing sit-com-like comedy/drama should be 3-SCREAM because 95% of the dialogue is projectile screaming/yelling/cursing of an unbelievable story line by basically unlikeable characters, with a dose of gratuitous grossness. 

Several of my theater buddies have alluded to its similarity to the 70’s TV sit-com “Three’s Company” but since I have no recollection of ever seeing this (remember, Billi Pod ain’t a TV person, and never has been) I will just have to trust their judgment on this.

The show runs 90 minutes, without intermission, and the last 10 minutes are interminable. I kept thinking ... please end this ... please end this ... please end this ...

Yes, My Lady, Dian Crystal, was so right in her thoughts and observations about this show. So, my loyal and faithful readers in the Tri-State area, Billi Pod says==>See this at your peril. You are so warned!!

The evening was saved from utter despair by the YANKEES/BRAVES game in Atlanta. The Bronx Bombers won 3-0 and got another good outing from Ivan Nova, who got his 8th win. The Bombers are now in a first-place tie with the Rays in the AL East.

Tonight our ace CC Sabathia (7-3) will be on the mound against Mike Minor (3-4). CC had a very lackluster last outing.

Was able to do most of my errands and stuff yesterday and that was good.

Tonight’s entertainment event will be ... 

7:00==>THIS IS FICTION - “Amy is on the verge of having her first novel published, but before she does, she has to break the news to her family that it's not entirely fiction. When she shows up at her childhood home in New Jersey, it's time to tell the truth. Fiction is easy. Life is hard.” (Off Broadway - $9.00 TDF ticket).

The cast features Broadway, television, and film star Richard Masur. I do have a question though==>isn’t this basically the story line of the Broadway play OTHER DESERT CITIES? Jus’ askin’.

Think I will head out and do some major walking and wandering ... so ... 

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
