MY MIND IS LIKE AN OPEN MEADOW==>C

HAPPY THURSDAY to all of my loyal and faithful readers and followers out there in the boondocks, hinterlands and wastelands.

I will start this posting with Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s entertainment event ...

7:30==>MY MIND IS LIKE AN OPEN MEADOW, about the connection between two separate generations of theatre performers via the taped voice of an elderly actress==>C.

It just didn’t work for me. The clock stopped and the one-hour running time seemed more in the neighborhood of 2+ hours. After the first 15 minutes people seated around me kept checking their watches. 

When it was over I honestly had no clue what the message was other than it sucks to get old and start to lose your memory. Golly, I think everyone knows that, don’t we? Whatever ... anyway ... see this at your peril.

And speaking of peril ... 

After the show I walked back to PHC while listening to the YANKEES/TIGERS game, which the Yankees won 12-8 ... but ... OMFG!! it was a heart-pounding roller coaster ride to put it mildly. 

It was a laugher turned nightmare turned sigh of relief. Some minor-league worthy sloppy fielding almost cost the Yankees the game but, luckily, we pounded out 18 hits for the win. WHEW!!

This afternoon at 1:05pm is the final game of the 4-game series and it will be Hiroki Kuroda (10-8) on the mound for the Yankees vs. Doug Fister (6-7) for The Tigers.

Billi Pod will, of course, stay in the cool confines of PHC to watch the game and then do a bit of walking and wandering (gotta keep the mileage average up) and then for tonight it will be ...

8:00==>THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY, A WORLD-PREMIERE ADAPTATION - “In an era when social media, human transparency and blurring of sexual boundaries are ever-present, a pure soul is ultimately destroyed by an obsession with self-image.” (Off Broadway - $9.00 TDF ticket).

This is an early preview performance. It is playing at the new Pershing Square Signature Center in my immediate ‘hood.

Hummmm ... might have time right now for about a mile ... so ... will post this and then head out.

Oh ... in response to a couple of rather snarky texts ... yes ... I promise that I will post Billi Pod’s entertainment stats for the month of July ... probably tomorrow.

Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>5.50 miles

Total mileage since 7/1/12==>158.50

Mileage remaining until 4/23/13==>920.50

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
