Snow?/Gina/Inventing Mary Martin/Yankees & Cubs


Wednesday==>I can’t believe that at 12:24am this morning I had some snow accumulation on one of my windows at PHC on the 41st floor.

At 8:00am it was bright but very cold, 32º, wind chill down to 23º. Burrrrrr!

When is it ever going to end, folks? When???

Oh, well ... moving on to some very positive news ...

As I am preparing this draft Gina and her family are at the hospital and the countdown has begun. 

She is expected to deliver baby girl #2 in mid afternoon and I am soooooooo excited about becoming a great-grandfather for the second time.

Will be making updates on my Facebook Timeline ... so ... stay tuned.

Moving on ...

Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s Off Broadway show ...

INVENTING MARY MARTIN, the 4-person world premiere multi-media celebration of the life and career of one of Broadway’s greatest stars, Mary Martin, who became one of the most glamorous and beloved stars of the American musical theatre==>A

This was the first preview performance and it was extremely well performed by the 4-person cast, Jason Graae, Cameron Adams, Lynne Halliday and Emily Skinner. Jason Graae as the narrator/host is simply outstanding.

The story line follows Martin’s life from her birth in Weatherford, TX, on December 1, 1913, until her death on November 3, 1990

She is probably best known for her Tony-Award winning performances as Nellie Forbush in South Pacific, Maria von Trapp in The Sound of Music and Peter in Peter Pan.

The story line is very educational and totally involving. The house was sold out and we gave the performers a roaring curtain call.

Major congrats to Artistic Director James Morgan and his staff for yet another terrific show.

Billi Pod says==>This is a must-see!!

It opens on April 27th, is playing at The York Theatre at the Citigroup Center on East 54th Street, has a running time of 1:30, without intermission, and runs through May 18th.

Tonight’s entertainment event is out at Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed and Ego Built, for the 7:05pm YANKEE/CUBS game, part of my partial season ticket package.

On the mound for The Yankees will be Michael Pineda (1-1) vs. Travis Wood (0-1) for The Cubs.

The weather forecast is for it to be 45º at game time. No rain is expected.

Last night’s game was postponed due to rain and is being made-up this afternoon as part of a day/night doubleheader.

It is almost noon and Alex has just reported: “contractions are stronger. Waiting on epidural.”

Time to post this ... so excited ... 

Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>3.52  miles (or, 7,703 steps)

Total mileage for 2014==>357.81 miles (average 3.41 miles per day)

GO YANKEES!!
