Physical therapy was not fun today, but it wasn't terribly painful.

The weird thing is the way the pain has moved from back to hip and now my knee feels like I slammed it into the dashboard or something.

Watching the rest of By Sidney Lumet.

I've known his grandson Sam since he was an apprentice at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in 2000.  Sam connected my TV to my sound system.  I tried to match him p with my goddaughter Emily.

Choreographer Danny Daniels has died.

Loved his work on The Tap Dance Kid.

There was an article recently in a Texas publication online by a vegan who trashed Tex-Mex. Amazingly stupid article as she, if she's a vegan, can't eat anything Tex-Mex, except perhaps chips and salsa.

I don't go out of my way to criticize the vegan diet, except that too much of what you find in vegan restaurants is wheat based, not vegetable based.

Unless everything is cooked in lard I don't understand her complaint, at least not compared to most restaurants.

The dates for THE LAST STARFIGHTER musical at Second Story Repertory (in Redmond which I think is near Seattle), are June 15 to July 1, 2018, the last show of their just-announced 2017-2018 season.  (total of ten performances; all are evenings except for the July 1 matinee)

Here's their 2017-2018 season

I have put it on our calendar.

I have a question about Book of Mormon.  Is it completely inappropriate for kids (aged 12 and 14?).  I know that it is raunchy. And I could not believe that my mom said that her friend's daughter is taking her 12 and 14 year olds to the show

I was so shocked. Out of all the shows in NYC the mom bought her and the kids tix to The Book of Mormom and Kinky Boots.  Wicked would have been so perfect. And there are so many other musicals that they could have gone to. Oy.

It does seem odd.

It helps to take a pain pill prior to PT.

Unless they've already seen Wicked and wanted to see something else.

I did, but that was for the sinus headache. :)

We have yet to like Mexican food in Portland.  Our friend, who seems to like odd Mexican food, asked if we just like California style Mexican.  Of course to us that is proper Mexican food.  We have had Mexican food from different regions of Mexico, and eaten it in Mexico, and on the whole have not found it to be all that different than what we grew up with.  We very much enjoyed our food in Texas, and have enjoyed it in Mexico.  We are limited in many ways not eating meat.

 
Sunday, if I can get resservations, we are meeting a friend for dinner at Xico.   I will be surprised if I like it ;D

Danny choreographed my reconstruction of  Jubilee for the 1998 Carnegie Hall concert.  He was quite a nice man, everything that ugly closet queen Herb Ross wasn't.
