GO GATORS!!! Billi Pod is soooooooo proud to be a Florida Gator!!!
Moving on to Billi Pod’s review of last night’s entertainment event ...
AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, Ibsen’s classic drama about an intense sibling rivalry==>B+
The cast is excellent and there is an award-worthy performance from Boyd Gaines, in the role of the doctor who creates turmoil in his small town.
My only quibble with the show is that all of the shouting and screaming does gets a bit old. This is a common complaint on the various theater message boards.
The show has been trimmed to 2 hours, with an intermission. It is definitely worth seeing and it opens tonight.
Briefly, on the baseball scene==>The Yankees win and the Orioles win and we still lead the AL East by 1.5 games with 7 remaining. We got an excellent performance from our ace CC Sabathia.
Tonight begins a 4-game series @ Toronto and it will be Ivan Nova (12-7) on the mound for The Bronx Bombers vs. Brandon Morrow (8-7) for The Blue Jays.
Tonight’s entertainment event is ...
8:00==>DON’T GO GENTLE - “A retired conservative Judge seeks redemption for his failures at home by volunteering to help a struggling black mother.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)
This is playing at a theatre down in the West Village so after the show I will probably walk back to the apartment while listening to the final innings of the Yankees/Jays game.
MORE BREAKING NEWS==>Billi Pod has finally made an appointment with a doctor in order to address his hearing issue(s).
Yes ... yes ... I know my family and friends, this is way-way overdue but ... as I responded to a question from one of my friends, whose initials are JSR, asking why I waited so long ... “when you are suffering from the ‘Peter Pan Syndrome’ for your entire life it is extremely difficult to admit that you have any problem(s) that might be age related.” So ...
I finally asked my cardiologist and friend Dr. Fred Feuerbach for a recommendation and he highly recommended Dr. Rose DuLude, a clinical audiologist, whose office is at 329 E. 68th Street, here in Manhattan.
My appointment is for 11:00am on Tuesday, October 2nd.
I will keep my loyal and faithful readers and followers advised.
In closing ... sometime today during one of my walking and wandering sessions I will reach an INCREDIBLE benchmark, the details of which will be in tomorrow’s blog.
Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>6.33 miles (or, 13,845 steps)
Total mileage since 7/1/12==>455.36
Mileage remaining until 4/23/13==>623.64
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
