Great Time With Dian And Marty

Good morning all of my loyal and faithful readers and followers.

I have posted something below for all of you guys out there in the hinterlands, wastelands and wilderness to think about ...

Yeah, I know ... 

Anyway ... moving on ...

Had a great time with My Lady Dian Crystal and Marty Kosarik at our favorite Fallopian restaurant, Meske, located on West 47th Street in my Hell’s Kitchen ‘hood. 

You know you have become a “regular” when the waitress says, before handing out the menu ... “are you all going to have the usual?” ... and, of course, we did.

Our Fallopian dinner was awesome. In response to several texts and FaceBook postings ... the picture shows the “usual” -  the Vegetarian Combo, which consists of, I think: split lentils; chickpeas; fresh cabbage; potatoes and carrots; and, collard greens served with the awesome bread known as injera.

Yes, I have to admit that Billi Pod is beginning to really like Fallopian food and ... he ... what? What did you just say Marty? OK, OK, calm down ... calm down ...  sorry folks I have been meaning to say Ethiopian food ... IT IS ETHIOPIAN FOOD!!

Satisfied now, Marty?

Anyhow ... after dinner we split and I spent about a hour just walking and wandering until it was time for my second entertainment event ...

DANNY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA, about a man and a woman, both lonely outcasts, who meet in a bar==>B+

The not likable characters and hard-to-believe story line is saved by incredible acting from Brandon Walker and Erin Cronican. 

Yes, the performance space is still uncomfortable but the stellar acting makes up for that, too. The show has a running time of 75 minutes.

See it. It runs through August 26th.

When the show was over I came back to PHC to watch the final innings of the YANKEES/WHITE SOX game. Barf!!

We lost 2-1 as the White Sox swept the 3-game series. Phil Hughes pitched a decent game but our bats were dead.

The loss cuts our lead over the surging Rays to 3-games.

The Yankees have the day off and then begin a 3-game series in Cleveland.

Today should be another interesting doubleheader for Billi Pod. Yes, it is a Thursday doubleheader, which is somewhat unusual in itself.

First will be a Fringe Festival show ...

2:00==>NON-EQUITY THE MUSICAL - “It’s 5:00am. Six non-union actors wake up for auditions, survival jobs, and dance calls that require them to be a dancing Kleenex box.” (Fringe Festival - discounted ticket)

This is playing in the West Village. When the show is over I intend to walk back to PHC.

Then for the evening will be a Broadway show ...

8:00==>CHAPLIN - “A musical that reveals the man behind the legend, from his rise from the slums of London to the heights of Hollywood as the beloved ‘little tramp’ and beyond.” (Broadway - discounted TDF ticket)

This show is in very early previews and thus far there has been very little advance buzz about it.

So, I hope that you loyal and faithful readers and followers will agree that today sounds and looks like a very entertaining doubleheader.

Wow!! Yesterday was my 3rd consecutive 6-mile day. Not bad!

Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>6.30  miles

Total mileage since 7/1/12==>233.56

Mileage remaining until  4/23/13==>845.44

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
