One has to be at the trailhead at 5 a.m. to get a parking spot on a Sunday. That's why.

Wow. At least there were other people out hiking and you were not alone on the trails. Have you heard from your friend yet?

I put a warm compress over my eyes and took a nap.

I tried to download a better photo from my phone, but they all come out as "heic" in stead of a jpeg. My computer won't touch those files.

I would love to see Barbra Streisand on stage at Benaroya.

Will she actually be performing there?

I doubt she would ever perform there. It only seats 2,500. I don’t think she will do any more shows.

I think you're right, TCB, although she didn't rule out a concert now and then, just touring.

So there's hope!

I've never heard of that file format.

A bad cell phone photo of a beautiful stage.

Very nice Tom!

I'm up...but I need to get my butt outta bed and get ready for the day. We have our first Sunday matinee, then I'm off to my sister's for Mother's Day with the family.

Until later!

BK currently on The Partridge Family on Antenna TV. He's got long hair in this episode!

What a beautiful venue, TCB! I would like to attend a performance there some day, even if it's not Barbra!

Last night, during the concert, one of the pianists introduced her original composition by saying that she was sitting on the piano bench reading a children's book when she became inspired.

TCB · « **Reply #75 on:** May 13, 2018, 12:31:21 PM »

After she played her number, she took her bow, and then sat down again. Just then, a guy who I assumed was an usher came out of the wings carrying a big bouquet of flowers for the young woman. I thought it was rather strange, because it was in the middle of the concert, and no one else had received flowers after their solo.

TCB · « **Reply #76 on:** May 13, 2018, 12:34:49 PM »

So, the guy hands her the flowers, but then he takes her hand and leads her to center stage. By this time everyone is screaming and taking out their phones to start taking photos. And yes, he then gets down on his knee and proposes.

TCB · « **Reply #77 on:** May 13, 2018, 12:36:06 PM »

I had never actually seen that happen before, except after the fact on the news or somewhere.

TCB · « **Reply #78 on:** May 13, 2018, 12:37:36 PM »

It was pretty cool. People were crying and screaming and applauding, to the extent that we almost missed hearing her accept the proposal.

It is quite wonderful and the acoustics are amazing.

Watching a fun piece of junk called The Colossus of Rhodes. It was Sergio Leone's first movie and it's one of those Italian epics with all of the dialogue dubbed. Rory Calhoun wears a toga.

One of my favorites is from ANNIE 2 or ANNIE WARBUCKS. (Thomas Meehan must have meant this cynically, of course.)

“We beat them 6-nothing, 6-nothing!"

"No, Annie, that's 6-love, 6-love. You see, Annie, love means nothing."

"Oh, no, you've got that all wrong. Love means everything!"

Ow. That's painful.

Cecil made it home yesterday. I'm going over for a short dinner tonight to see how he is. Thank you, again, for all those vibes.

BTW, Pam and he have their 43rd anniversary tomorrow, 20 years to the day of Mom and Dad's.

John G. · « **Reply #87 on:** May 13, 2018, 12:50:39 PM »

There actually was no Colossus of Rhodes. It apparently was just a myth.

Oh, Myth?

Next June, the Seattle Pops is doing a Broadway concert combined with acrobats and aerialists from the Cirque Troop Vertigo. That should be awesome.

Let's move on.
