It is a beautiful Sunday morning in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.
I hope all of you loyal and faithful readers have a great finish to your weekend.
I want to begin this somewhat briefer posting (OK ... stop the f**king applause ... don’t make me come over there and bitch-slap you) with Billi Pod’s report card on yesterday’s entertainment event ...
THE HUNCHBACK VARIATIONS, a panel discussion between Quasimodo, hunchback of Notre Dame, and Ludwig van Beethoven on their troubled collaboration==>B.
The concept is interesting. There is no spoken dialogue - all sung by the two extremely talented actors, accompanied by a pianist and a cellist. It felt like it was perhaps 10 minutes too long. It is worth seeing, however.
Before the show I had a nice time visiting with Dian Crystal and Raellen Foreman and her friends.
When the show was over I walked back to PHC, a distance of 2.0 miles. It really felt great.
When I got back I kept checking my ticket services for some entertainment event for the evening and while there were a lot of options, nothing really turned me on ... so ... Billi Pod opted to stay in for the evening to watch the 2nd game of the YANKEES/DETROIT series.
BARF!
Yes my loyal and faithful readers, this was a bad choice for two reasons ... first ... there was a 39 minute rain delay in the bottom of the first inning and second ... the Yankees lost 4-3 in a game they should have won going away.
It was a very frustrating game to watch because the Wankies remain cursed by their inability to get crucial hits with runners in scoring position==>they were a pitiful 1 for 12.
BARF!!
Man, if GeorgeS were alive today the hitting coach would be toast, make no mistake about it.
BARF!!!
Anyway ... this is what Billi Pod has scheduled for today ... first he will stay in to watch the rubber game of the Detroit series, starting at 1:05 ... and then for this evening is ...
7:00==>STOREFRONT CHURCH - “The story concerns a Bronx borough President who is forced, by the mortgage crisis, into a confrontation with a local minister.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)
This is playing at the newly renovated Atlantic Theater down in Chelsea and it is the 3rd and final part of John Patrick Shanley’s trilogy that started with the Pulitzer Prize winning Doubt.
So, everyone ... have a great rest of the weekend ...
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
