It was an early birthday celebration for my daughter-in-law, so none of us suspected anything.

I love this umbrella

Is it difficult to open or close?  I remember one or the other was a problem with reviewers.

Nope, there is a little red button you push

Went to see a high school production of Chicago today. Interesting. The show remains more topical today than ever. At the very end, when Velma and Roxie are thanking everyone in the audience for the kind thoughts and prayers that helped them through their ordeal, I couldn't help but think of the reaction to the school shooting and the growing reaction against the "thoughts and prayers" phrase. It really hit home.

It helped that the Velma had an excellent body, some nice dance moves and great voice. That the Roxie was slightly more awkward only made her performance a little more fitting.

This was after brunch with friends. Nice meal. I really liked the brussels sprouts with fresh tomato and lardons. A brisket poutine with coffee red-eye gravy was also pretty incredible from the taste I had. And my cheese burger was delicious.

Oh, that Sandra. I'd have asked if you were getting a cat.

Limelight is getting a little long in the tooth. It needs to lose a good 20 minutes or so.

We ended up here

You went to Canada?


?????

The first thing that comes up with that link is a store in Ontario.

How odd, when I click On the link in my post and in the quote above I get Coyles homemade ice cream in Bay Shore

Ice cream is always the correct answer.

Spring has struck, and the plantings have begun. I put in two cucumber plants and one tomatillo today. The fig tree has leaves growing on it. The loquat tree is covered with tiny fruit. The chives are young and healthy looking. The mint is soft. The trees are getting that soft spring green. It's just nice out there.

One of the extras on Limelight is a very early Chaplin short called A Night in the Show. He plays two different theatergoers, Mr. Pest and Mr. Rowdy. It's laugh out loud funny.

Either this was improved or it is a different brand than the one I saw.

Rehearsal in five minutes - should only last fifteen and then I'm FREE to be me and me.  Just two more commentary things to do and that's done.

Spring is  still at least 30 - 40 days away hereabouts

Talked with Mom tonight. Louisville is having one of its worst flooding in ages. Thankfully, the house is dry at the moment. No water in the basement. But water is everywhere else. And I think the garage may be flooded. That's not really a problem as there isn't a car or much of anything else except for some tools and stuff that they refuse to get rid of.

I've started Sidney Lumet's movie of The Group. I never read the book, though I've got a copy somewhere. Given it's length (it's about 2.5 hours), I know I won't finish it tonight. But the first half hour has been fun.
