Sorry you're not totally recovered, but glad you're going to see Constellations. I know, I've been remiss in my posting here, but I did like the play a lot. It's short, and you need to pay attention, but I thought it was a really interesting portrayal of a relationship. And just to fill you in on the other two shows we saw,.. loved Between Riverside and Crazy, and really really loved On the Town!

It's Girl Scout Cookie season. Here's your GSC-Wine Pairing guide! http://wtop.com/food/2015/02/theyre-back-second-annual-girl-scout-cookie-wine-pairing-guide/slide/6/

tribeca, we usually go to Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City for Cuban food. It's probably not the best food, but it's quite good and the place is an institution. And I mean that in a good way! It's an experience. GenL, I feel funny about chiming in after the extensive list given by Sun-Bun, but I'll throw in Etch as a place to have a fine dining meal. I swear I think it's in the top 5 places we've ever eaten. Start with the butter tasting - yes, really! Also, I'm not a huge country music fan, but I absolutely loved the Hall of Fame and the Ryman tours. Also, the Hermitage Hotel is lovely (and the Capitol Grill in the hotel, which is not the chain, is quite good!). If you like old, ornate architecture, take a walk through it. Across the street from there is the Tennessee State Museum. It's free and good for an afternoon. I was lucky when I was there - they had an exhibit of Elvis photos that was great. ALenore, if you don't mind a train trip (I loooove the train!), there's always Philadelphia, or you could come on down here to DC. Lots to do and you don't need a car.

Three restaurants to visit - The Refinery, Sideberns, and Berns Steakhouse. Ybor City is kinda of cute. The Tampa Theatre is wonderful. And, of course, there's Spring Training!! Which is the only reason I know anything about Tampa at all.

Unless you're Penn Jillette, a magician never tells.

Nooooooooooooo I really wanted Michael Keaton.

Is Terrance Howard okay? He seems really out of it.

Idris Elba...yummmm Do not like Jessica Chastain's dress.

I think NPH is going yeoman's work out there. The crowd is so not helping. But I'm laughing.

These guys are not quite as charming as the Polish guy.

It says You're Awesome!!!

You gotta love a guy who has to get played off twice. I kept waiting for them to give him an actual hook.

Cause you're rich. That's...rich.

I thought it was lovely. I love NPH.

I am also watching ABC. That was a pretty weird interview with Melanie and Dakota. Robin Roberts looks fab.

It looked a lot better in the picture in the NYT than live and in person.

I love the color and the top, but not the rest of it.

Waving!! Hi there. Glad to be here, too!! Hope you're feeling better!

My impression wasn't that no one recognized the character, but that they were surprised at the decision to have someone else do a beloved Gilda character. I love Emma Stone, but I was surprised, too.

I think if I had to choose between Garth and Kat, and Gilly, I'd choose...death

If anyone is interested, 1st Look is live now with a show about ... the show ...

If it helps, my local NBC news guy said the same thing.

Thank you for clicking on that link so I don't have to.

That was fun. I think the good far outweighed the bad. And I had a blast with you all. The Oscars sounds like a fine next date!!

Best props: pre-filled wine glasses. This sketch is great! And let's hear it for the crew!!!!!!! (confession - Mr ebk is a stagehand)
