How 'bout them Os?? Seriously, who are these guys?

Wait - no one went to the game to get me that sweet 'head?? I'm hurt. But to make up for it, someone needs to go to the Cyclones game tomorrow with 2 friends to get me the hog dog 'heads... https://www.milb.com/brooklyn/news/4thofjuly22 And yes, Vlad and Dad with the first pitch was fabulous.

Did anyone watch this? We just started the show and the opening is Gary Clark Jr. and Bruce singing Come Together. Now I wish I'd gotten tickets! Who cares about the rest of the show! 😄 ETA: The show on the whole was excellent. Everyone was funny, but mostly we learned what a great guy Jon is. Which I guess I sorta knew, but now I know that everyone who works with him loves him. One of the better KC TV productions, too, so that was good. And the music... fabulous.

Definitely C - I could manipulate time! What more does one need?? Well, except cookies - and I get those too!

I worked in banking for a lot of years way back in my misspent youth. I always worked the day after Thanksgiving (since the banks aren't allowed to be closed more than 3 days in a row). I've worked in my current job for almost 30 years and still wake up (late!) on that Friday and roll over thinking "yay - I don't have to go to work!!" At the current job, we get most of the Federal holidays, but not Columbus Day or Veterans Day. But we do get the day after Thanksgiving! - Did I mention that already? 😄 And yes, we now get Juneteenth off. I should mention that while I worked full time jobs, I also worked in theatre, so I never really got days off, but it didn't matter because that was my "fun" job.

Jon was in town this past weekend at a music festival put on by Pharrell. I did not go, although I really thought about it - a lot. You could only buy a pass for all 3 days for $400 and while there were a few acts I would have been happy to see, not enough of them for $400. And then, it turned out the festival was quite disorganized - a bunch of folks took sick due to crowding and emergency response was slow. And other things that happen when thousand of people are squished together with no thought to what can happen. Someday, I will see Jon in concert. This weekend was not the time.

Well, that show was underwhelming. Thanks for the company, everyone. Definitely made it more enjoyable!

Did anyone notice they played Joaquina off after her very serious and passionate speech with Put on a Happy Face? I know it was probably scheduled, but can anyone make a better decision on the fly??

Have most of the winners actually deserved the wins? Not tonight.

I feel about Spring Awakening the way I feel about Dear Evan Hansen. Those were not shows written for me and I didn't like either one of them. But I suppose I can see how they would affect others.

If someone gave me tickets, I definitely wouldn't refuse them. But I'm not going out to buy any.

I loved Girl From the North Country. I know there's no hope that it will extend into August so I can see it again, but a girl can dream.

I think this is the part of the evening when I ask if I should get another glass of wine, then get one before anyone answers. Be right back... 🍷

Phylicia Rashad... that's unfortunate.

I'm surprised I enjoyed that as much as I did. Still don't want to see the show.

Chris Harper pays my salary. Nicely done, Marianne.

I love Patti. Mr. ebk said "she's not going to read that whole page, right?". No, she's going to read all of the multiple pages. Bless her heart.

I like Ruthie's dress.

Yeah, I like Hugh Jackman and all, but this is not selling me on a ticket. At all.

Well... I believe that opening contained numbers from every single musical ever. To quote the NYT, it was "hectic".

Anyone around tonight? I just poured some wine and have been following along in the NYT on the 1st hour's awards.

This is a much nicer story about the team than the other story I read today... Although I suppose this one could work out well if it results in a new owner. https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/lawsuit-alleges-son-of-peter-angelos-sought-to-wrest-control-of-orioles-from-brother

Every time I think I can't love Jon more, I'm proven wrong. I love Jon.

Muppet Show cold open - brilliant!

How I Learned to Drive and Anyone Can Whistle. I think I read your thoughts on Girl and the other shows I'm not really interested in. Not that that should stop you from sharing. I love reading your reviews.
