The Producers
Ali and I went to The City yesterday to see The Producers on Broadway. Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick have reprised their roles for a short time, and we were lucky enough to get tickets.
Ah, but I’m getting a head of myself …
This was our second time going to The City since we moved to New York last June. The first time we went was Thanksgiving weekend to meet Adam, who was in from Portland, Oregon. I’m not sure why we haven’t gone more as it only takes us about 3.5 hours with about 2 hours of that on a train. Needless to say for us to get to The City it is a piece of cake; contrasted with what Ashley went through to get there you might even think it boring.

On Evansville
Hey y’all!
Not much to say this week. I’m still trying to recuperate from my trip to Evansville. I haven’t worked so hard in quite a while. I started by getting up at 2am Monday morning to make a 5am flight, and once arriving in Evansville I proceeded to work until 11pm Tuesday night with the bulk of Tuesday being spent in a small hut in Louisville, KY. I must say our hut is in a quite scary part of town, and that I didn’t enjoy spending time in it after dark.

David recommended I read Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates by Tom Robbins when I was last down his way.
I’m in the middle of the fourth book in The Cleric Quintet — The Fallen Fortress by R.A. Salvatore at the moment, but I bought that book as a single bound edition, and so I wasn’t inclined to bring in on the trip (as it is not exactly petite). I had Fierce Invalids on deck (I bought it when I bought Amazon women, The Kentucky Fried Movie, and Still Life with Woodpecker — another Tom Robbins book), and for the purpose of having something to read while traveling, I decided to start Fierce Invalids, and leave the bulky Cleric Quintet at the homestead, despite the fact that I’m really into it.
I’m about two-thirds though Fierce Invalids at this point, and … Read More »
Ah, Nuts
On my way to work today I saw the funniest thing — This little squirrel was dragging a huge pine comb across the road. I expect to see squirrels with acorns or nuts, not pine combs that are bigger than it is. Anyway found it amusing and though I would share.
