Friday==>A heartfelt TGIF shout out to all of my Worker Bee friends out there in the hinterlands, wastelands and boondocks. I know it has been a long and emotionally draining week for each of you ... but ... that is part of the fall out of being a Worker Bee ... so ... just live with it (actually, you have no choice but to live with it), keep trudging on, and stop looking at the clock because your Boss will let you know when it is time to leave your cubicle, wait-station, broom closet etc. etc.
Your favorite blogger has a luncheon scheduled for today, so let’s started with Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s Off Broadway show, that he scheduled after yesterday’s posting ...
A DISH FOR THE GODS, “Celebrated writer Julia Richards reflects on her path to success as well as the price she has paid. She recalls the challenges she faced, the painful choices she made, and the tumultuous relationship she shared with the singular man she loved.”==>A-
This romantic comedy/drama is well written and performed, especially Margot White as Julia.
It has believable characters and story line. It does not have the usual bland “feel-good” rom-com ending and that is a major plus.
The show is playing at The Theater Row Complex on West 42nd Street, has a running time of 90 minutes, without intermission, and runs through October 5th.
Billi Pod says==>this is worth seeing.
Moving on ...
As I mentioned above, I have a luncheon date scheduled for today.
At noon I am meeting up with Vivian Garfein, who was the long-time companion of my dear friend and fraternity brother J. Papa Hall, who left us on September 15, 2010.
She has been visiting her daughter and family, who live in the Upper Westside. Her daughter, Rebecca, is the Senior Cantor of Congregation Rodeph Sholom on East 83rd Street, and is the first female Cantor ever to hold this position.
Vivian will come up to PHC so I can show her the stunning northward views of Hell’s Kitchen. We will do some much needed/wanted catching up and then have a bite someplace in my ‘hood.
Tonight’s entertainment event is ...
A DAY FOR GRACE - “The daunting journey of a father-to-be chasing parental shadows to find the light for his unborn daughter. The story of an uncertain birth with unforeseen complications.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)
This show is playing at the Stage Left Studio on West 30th Street, not one of my favorite venues, has a running time of 1:30, without intermission, and runs through September 22nd.
OK ... now, my loyal and faithful readers and followers ... for your daily sports-fix ...
Last night up in Toronto the Blue Jays drove another nail into the Yankees post season coffin, winning 6-2 as the bullpen imploded yet again and our bats remained virtually dormant.
Folks, to quote a local sports beat writer==>“The Yankees have been too terrible, too often. They have virtually no chance to qualify for the post season, and no right to do so either.”
Tonight The Wankies return to Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed And Ego Built, for the final home stand of the season. They will play 3 games against The San Francisco Giants and then 3 against The Tampa Bay Rays.
On the mound tonight for The Wankies will be CC Sabathia (13-13) vs. Tim Lincecum aka The Freak (10-13) for The Giants.
Yesterday I was able to score tickets for two post season games. Excellent seats. Thank God they are refundable.
OK, everyone ... time to post this and then get ready for my time with Vivian. Really looking forward to seeing her.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!
Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>0.87 miles (or, 1,905 steps)
