Well, I have a rush ticket for the matinee of Pippin. I thought that 6:30am would be a good time to arrive. It's light by that time and it's only a 3 and a half hour wait instead of 4 hours. Well, at 6:30 there were already 14 people ahead of me. Luckily at No. 15 I got a ticket (they also sell both matinee and evening rush at 10am) but by 10am when they began the line was long enough that some people did not get a ticket. They sell 36 tickets (the first two rows of the orchestra) for $37. Oy, what I do for theatre. But the weather was decent and the line was calm. I had my media player so listened to WNYC on the radio and by 10:10am I had a ticket for the show.
Mmm, nothing like fresh asparagus!
I swear, since I retired, I have had a problem remembering what day it is.
but there were a couple of times where the noise of what was going on drowned out the voices a bit.
Saw old friends from high school and college last night. Took Mom and Dad out for a 58th anniversary lunch at a beautiful place along the river. And we played dominos. Oh, yeah, did a lot of work on Mom's cookbook. Finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel on that project.
I did an additional mile and a half jog early last evening, thanks to some truly annoying news.
