Kennedy Center


Went to the Kennedy Center today – great program – wonderful voices – and a moving story. I like the new Eisenhower Theater – but I also liked the smaller boxes with the high-backed wooden seats! Progress! Need to call them to see about next season – and to change the July program – I don't want to go to DC on the 4th of July!!

Kennedy Center - 2008/2009

Next season's performances!
Frost/Nixon
Legally Blonde, the Musical
Ragtime
The Color Purple
Spring Awakening
Looks like a good season - tho I'm not sure about a musical Legally Blonde!!  Will definitely be interesting!

Lion King

What a great play! The costumes are astounding - the giraffes were amazing (as were all the animals!).  The singing was great.  There were a lot of children at the performance (the first Saturday of the run) and all were entralled - the two nearest us were ok although I was glad I wasn't sitting in front of one - she was kicking the entire time!


We were able to get in and out quickly and the ride home was uneventful - we were even able to stop in Glen Allen and get the motorcycle and bring it home (I drove the Explorer of course!!).   All was well down 64 and through the tunnel but as soon as I got to the Virginia Beach border the smell of smoke was everywhere!  I'd forgotten the smell (or I'd gotten used to it) until I'd been out of it for a while - and then it was REALLY strong when I got back! 


Oh well, we can hope that we'll have enough rain soon to put out the fires here and in North Carolina!


A great weekend and the start of a hectic week - but it's a short one!

Whew - what a week

Yippee - an early weekend and a longer one too - I took Saturday and Monday off - just because! I'm going to see Lion King at the Kennedy Center on Saturday - and REALLY looking forward to that!

Sunday will be more cleaning in the "spare" rooms that have become general dumping grounds for all things not in favor! Hopefully I'll be able to get all junk & real garbage out of my assigned room and move on to actual cleaning! There's still another room for me to do - but that's going to mean heavy lifting so I'm going to have to have massive help!

Monday will be a day of rest and relaxation (along with dusting and working from home - I know but there are things that HAVE to get done before Tuesday!!).

PS There are 131 days until the election - if it were over tomorrow I'd be very very happy!
