Thank you thank you Grandma! Thank you Uncle T!!! You see last night they generously gave us  4 orchestra seats to the Broadway show called Rock of Ages, and it really was incredible. We took our  friends, M & C who also loved the show! Now I’m not the biggest musical theater fan, like the misses, but this show was like a flashback to a time of my life from just about 30 years ago. It’s a show based on 1980’s music with a live band playing all the big hits from the day. I guess it won awards on Broadway and I can see why. The audience was electric and featured young and old alike. In between the music there was lots of adult humor and the entire story was just fun to watch. The misses joked that I had to have had a good time as I got to listen to all my favorite music AND watch strippers with her at the same time! You see the 80’s was full of lots of sexual innuendo and so the show was full of scantly clad women which were almost, but not quite, as attractive as my wife! At the end the audience gave the cast a much deserved long standing ovation. One of the kids from American Idol a few years ago, who came in 3rd or something (not sure as I don’t watch the show) named Constantine was really a talented kid and fun to watch. We got out of there around 10:50, picked up the boys at Uncle T and Aunt B’s and made it into bed by 11:30. Another big “Thank You” to Uncle T and Aunt B for watching the boys from 6:30-11:15. We’re both a little tired this morning (it’s 6am) and the misses ran to the store for milk while I’m writing todays post. Thanks again Grandma, it was the most fun the misses and I have had in many many years, and we really appreciate you thinking of us. In fact on the way home,  I told her I was really happy for her as I hadn’t seen her laugh that much in a long time, she really enjoyed it!
Yesterday the misses team building day included her making her own candy at the candy factory (that’s like giving an alcoholic a bottle) and then, from what she says, a horrible lunch at a restaurant downtown. The boys and I cleaned up after my work and then I took them to the pool for an hours worth of swimming. They then played with their little friends for the last time until mid August as their entire family heads off to Central America today for a 2 month adventure. Now I’m all for adventure but probably would have picked some place other than Guatemala and Panama for a family vacation, but that’s just me.
The misses works tomorrow but has a big agenda around the house today. The littlest one really liked swim team yesterday so he’s headed out again at 8:30 for another hour of exercise. The oldest was going to go but the realization of just how early 6:00 is and the fact that he’d have to get up at that time every morning made him decide not to do it. We’re ok with that as he has lots going on and we don’t want to force either of them into it. I suppose this morning wasn’t the best day to try to get him to start when he was up until 11:30. Both dogs are rolling around on the rug and then shaking off 5 pounds of hair every few minutes or so. The misses just bribed them to go outside with a little food.
It’s almost 6:45 and I need some more coffee so time to sign off for today. Aunt Robie, you would have really liked the show, it was right up your ally as I’m sure you know as we’re a lot alike when it comes to music. Other than that, same old same old, too many bills, not enough money and yes the microwave is still broken! Hope everyone has a great day! Until tomorrow, God Bless and long live big hair, loud music and short skirts!
