1,000,000+ Steps Since 7/1/12

I am happy to report to you loyal and faithful readers and followers that at the intersection of 57th Street and 12th Avenue @ 3:07pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012, Billi Pod reached a major milestone in his 1,079 mile walking challenge/adventure==>1,000,000 steps recorded since 7/1/12.

Yes, that is the correct number as recorded in my records from my WeightWatchers Pedometer. I hope you will allow me to sorta bask in the implications of this awesome number.

I know that as human beings we all accumulate numbers that reach and exceed 1,000,000==>heart beats, breaths, eye blinks, walking etc etc etc but we rarely, if ever, have a record of these accomplishments. Well, in this instance Billi Pod does.

And, if things work out as planned there will be more to come, so stay tuned my loyal and faithful readers and followers, stay tuned.

Now moving on ...

Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s DON’T GO GENTLE, about a retired conservative Judge who seeks redemption for his failed relationship with his adult children==>B+

Great acting from a stellar cast headed by Michael Cristofer in the lead role of Lawrence, the retired Judge. I personally found the Judge to be totally without any redeeming characteristics and to be totally dislikable. As I told some of my theater friends afterwards, not all retired Judges are like that.

The show has a gut wrenching story line and everyone is mad and angry during most of the 1:40 show.

Having said that, Billi Pod still believes the show is worth seeing.

As a side-note==>Cristofer wrote the Pulitzer and Tony winning drama “The Shadow Box,” which is one of my favorite plays. I was in two different Community Theatre productions of this show, way back when ...

Fortunately, the timing of the show kept me from being a part of the meltdown by the Wankies in their unforgivable 6-0 loss to the last place Blue Jays.

Ivan Nova pretty much pitched his way out of the post season starting rotation. Our lead in the AL East is now back to 1-game.

Tonight it will be Hiroki Kuroda (14-11) on the mound for The Wankies vs. Chad Jenkins (0-2) for The Blue Jays.

Thank God the NFL owners finally came to their senses and reached an agreement with the referee’s union. The replacement refs are gone and the real referees are now back.

Today’s entertainment event is ...

7:00==>RED-HANDED OTTER - “Security guards offer cold comfort to a co-worker, Paul, after the death of his cherished pet cat. When their good intentions backfire Paul’s grief turns into malevolent rage.” (Off Broadway - discounted TDF ticket)

This is playing down in the West Village. My plans are to head out early for a nice walk and wander session.

I HOPE THAT EVERYONE HAS AN AWESOME WEEKEND!!!

Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>7.04  miles (or, 15,396 steps)

Total mileage since 7/1/12==>462.40 (or, 1,011,269 steps)

Mileage remaining until 4/23/13==>623.64

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
