Sneaky Wicked Surprise
Our Richmond friends have had a very busy year, and it’s hardly over. In addition to graduating both of the kids (already reported) they have an upcoming wedding to produce. Immediately after the wedding, the new couple is moving up to NYC (well, immediately after the honeymoon). 😉 That should be enough to […]

Avenue Q
The young folks spent the day running around NYC, riding the Staten Island Ferry, and spending time in Central Park. The old folks spent the day tethered to their laptops. We met up at the apartment and walked up to our favorite restaurant, the Peking Duck House in mid-town. We had a fantastic […]

A Wicked Surprise
For the past few weeks, Lois and I have mentioned to each other that we were itching to see Wicked again. This was probably more true for me, but I think she wouldn’t have minded too much. That said, we did nothing about that itch. I didn’t even check for ticket availability online, […]

Enjoying Repetition
We have company staying with us this weekend. Yesterday morning, while they were eating a late breakfast in the apartment, I wandered out on my own to TKTS. I listened to another The Business podcast (from KCRW) on the way, and to part of the new Celine Dion CD (Taking Chances) on the […]

My iPod Nano Teaches Me New Tricks
Mostly, I listen to music on my iPod. On occasion, I have listened to an audio book or two, while exercising. One thing I have never done is watch a video. My old iPod 30GB probably could do it as well (it certainly could display photos), but I never even tried (not even […]

Wicked Business
A friend of ours emailed us a link to an NPR interview with the producer of Wicked. Not only entertaining, but for me, extremely informative (lots of background and tidbits that I had no idea about). It’s well worth a listen, if you have any interest in Wicked at all. Stream or download […]

Wicked Serendipity
The last time I wrote about Wicked, we were close to calling it our last time, given the disappointing performances of the two leads. Two people whom I don’t know commented on my blog (one is rare enough), and one, Vickie, pointed out that the Elphaba lead was going to change to Stephanie […]

A very Wicked Sunday 🙂
If you read my last post, you know that the highlight of yesterday was going to see Wicked for our fifth time. In addition to that specific highlight, the day turned out to be spectacular in a number of other ways. Therefore, this post will likely be very long, and I apologize if […]

Can you count to 5? 🙂
I just checked, and while I mention our obsession with Wicked in 2 (or 3) postings, I have never blogged about Wicked directly. I was surprised, but it made sense when I thought about it for a second. I started this blog right after our last viewing of Wicked. Last? Yes, for the […]

Spamalot
After our wonderful lunch at The Peking Duck House, we walked to Broadway to see a Sunday matinée of Spamalot. Eons ago, it was one of my favorite movies (Monty Python and the Holy Grail). Given how much I loved the movie, and in general Monty Python, it’s a bit puzzling (to me) […]
