He's There...


Guess what I did this weekend?

I've seen Phantom several times before, all in the touring show (twice in college and once in residency). But this time, the Girl and I roadtripped to NYC and saw it on Broadway. (yes, the neon lights were bright)

Wow. Just WOW!

I've never before been to Broadway itself, despite my love of musicals. I had forgotten how romantic and seductive Phantom is in person. Yes, there is cheese galore, but I love it anyway.

And the guy playing Raoul is HAWT!

I didn't stop smiling all weekend. DD and I went to Times Square, Broadway, Central Park, and the Titanic exhibit (which was amazing, if you're in NYC go to it!). We spent Friday and today traveling, so we packed a LOT into a few short hours on Saturday.

Is it wrong to order a BLT on challah bread at a Jewish deli?

I need another vacation, a real one, not one spent at Mecca's hospital with my mother. This will do for now...I'm far more saner today that I was this time last week.

That sounds like fun. We saw Phantom when it was here a few years ago.

We've been to several of the Titanic exhibitions. Frank and I are both Titanic buffs, so it makes for good bonding time. He sits and reads through my library of books on the subject.

And yes, you can order that, and it's good. But sheesh, you even did it on the Jewish New Year!

I'm sure my Jewish great-grandmother is rolling over in her grave now.

So what prompted this post a few months late? Rented the movie?
