Tuesday==>Your favorite blogger is happy to report that Monday was a much saner and “normal” day than was Sunday ... Thank You Higher Power.
Billi Pod was able to finish off most of his scheduled chores and errands with surprising ease.
Plus ... and this is a big plus ... he was able to book his flights to and from Columbia, SC, for Christmas with family, thanks to the highly professional services of his Travel Agent and longtime friend Blanche Bryant of International Sun Travel in Bartow, FL.
There is only one nonstop flight a day between New York/Columbia or Columbia/New York and they sell out very quickly, especially in the holiday season and also because of the presence of Fort Jackson in Columbia.
I will leave NYC on December 24th and return on the 28th.
Will furnish more details to family and friends later .. so ... moving on ...
I am also happy to report to my loyal and faithful readers and followers that last night’s staged reading, THE SECOND MAN, about the relationships of four very different people: Clark, a hack writer; Kendall, a wealthy older woman; Monica, a starry-eyed young thing; and, Austin, a rich scientist was==>ENJOYABLY ENTERTAINING, even though it is set in the 1920s, making it, of course, dated.
Remember, Billi Pod does not usually assign letter grades to staged readings.
The reading was part of the “Plays-You-Should-Know-But-Probably Don’t” series by The Peccadillo Theater Company @ the Theatre at St. Clement’s on West 46th Street.
When the reading was over I came back to the cozy confines of PHC to watch the rest of the Dodgers/Cardinals NLCS game.
It was a very exciting game and the Dodgers won 3-0 to remain in the championship fight. The Cards lead the series 2-1.
Moving on to Billi Pod’s entertainment schedule for today ...
Well, it is another entertainment doubleheader, starting with ...
3:00==>BLEEDING LOVE - “In this post-apocalyptic new musical comedy it's always night, it's always cold and nothing ever grows.” (reading - free ticket)
This is a staged reading by The Amas Musical Theatre Company and is performed at the 14th Street Y in the Union Square area. I am seeing it as a guest of my theater-buddy Dian Crystal aka My Lady.
When the reading is over I will race back to PHC to change clothes and then head uptown to Lincoln Center for the second half of my doubleheader ...
7:30==>NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA @ Avery Fisher Hall - The program is: Golljov (who??) - Last Round; Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto; and, Dvorak - Symphony No. 8 (subscription series)
Your favorite blogger is definitely in need of a classical music fix.
Yeah ... another interesting day in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.
Oh, just a bit more sports ...
1. The Gators remain in the top 25 in all of the polls, which, frankly, I find a bit surprising. We are currently 3-point favorites over Missouri, next Saturday’s opponent, in another away game.
2. Game 3 of the Tigers/FuckSox series is today at 4:00pm, from Detroit, carried on Fox. The series is tied 1-1.
3. Game 4 of the Dodgers/Cardinals series is tonight at 8:00pm from LA, carried on TBS. The Cardinals lead 2-1.
In closing I want to share two recent photographs taken of my darling great-granddaughter Saylor, with her Mom, Gina, and Dad, Alex, at The State Fair in South Carolina.
I also have some very exciting breaking news to share with you loyal and faithful readers and followers as soon as I get the OK from Alex and Gina to do so.
OK ... time to post this and then get ready to head down to Union Square ...
Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>2.79 miles (or, 6,098 steps)
Total mileage since 7/1/13==>364.80 miles (average 3.44 miles per day)
GO GATORS!!
