An Early Christmas Dinner==>YES!!

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

Today Billi Pod is getting an early start to Christmas. Around noonish he will take the 3-Train up to that foreign country known as Harlem to his theater-buddy Marty Kosarik’s 147th Street pad for an early Christmas Dinner. YES!!

We will be joined by Dian Crystal aka My Lady who will be taking an uptown bus, which will probably take hours from her East Village apartment.

Dinner is being totally planned, prepared, cooked and presented by Marty who is, as most of you loyal and faithful readers know, a vegetarian. Meaning ... Billi Pod has no clue what we will be actually eating.

All of this means that this posting will be somewhat shorter ... stop the f**king applause ... don’t make me come over there and bitch-slap you ... OK?

Moving on rather quickly ...

Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s entertainment event ...

#REGANCROSS, about business, love and relationship(s) in cyberspace==>C+

Tremendous acting saves the utterly confusing story line. Billi Pod is fairly competent in the social networking genre/jargon but even he had difficulty following what has happening on stage. The two older women seated next to me were totally confused and they, and a lot of others, left at intermission.

The show is also way way too long, clocking in at 2:45 with an intermission.

It has a very limited run, so see it at your own peril.

Tonight’s entertainment event is ...

8:00==>WATER BY THE SPOONFUL - “A young soldier returns from Iraq to his Puerto Rican family in Philadelphia, to find them in flux and his career prospects limited.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)

This show, in early previews, won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and is playing in a theatre in my immediate ‘hood.

I have begun the mental countdown process for my Sunday trip down South to Columbia, SC, to be with my family for Christmas. It will be: my daughter Kathi and her husband Dr. John; my son Bill III aka The Bill from Orlando; youngest grandson Chris Falletta aka Topher from Apopka, FL; oldest grandson Alex Falletta aka Army Guy and his wife Gina; and ... celebrating her first Christmas, my darling great-granddaughter Saylor.

Really looking forward to being with you guys.

Yesterday wasn’t a very productive walking day due to really nasty and cold weather ...

Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>2.06 miles (or, 4,505 steps)

Total mileage since 7/1/12==>928.67 miles 

Mileage remaining until 4/23/13==>150.33 miles

GO GATORS!!
