Wicked

So, for my free write, I will write about the play Wicked. I took my family to see the play and met a few students at the Theatre. I drove to Weehawken and took the Ferry and then a Bus to the Theatre. The show was excellent. The singing was great and the show was actually amusing. The two leads of the Good Witch and the Bad Witch we excellent. I enjoyed the show, but during intermission I noticed that a friend of mine was playing in the orchestra. After the show I called to him in the pit and later got a tour behind, under and all around the Theatre and stage. I met the male Lead of Ferrari and the woman in the wheel chair (forgot her name). My son got a poster signed by all the cast members and his playbill signed. Although I missed the Yankee game, (very upset), I did have an experience that few get to have. So, over all it was a great night. I did celebrate with all the Yankee fans who were in Time Square watching the game, and took the last Ferry home with us. The Yankees clinched while we were mid way across the Hudson and we were all screaming and chanting, another experience I will remember.

Book Update

I recently made it to the 300's of my book. Lately I had a few hours of down time and instead of cleaning up the yard from the leaves or playing my guitar, I actually read. Ann Coulter writes in her book that in 1999, the New York Post took a poll on the 25 Top Evil People of the Millennium. Bill Clinton was second only to Hitler, and Hillary was 6Th, just above Saddam Hussein and Charles Manson. She strongly criticizes the Clinton Administration, as does most Republicans. This poll happened to be an on line poll by the Post in which they received 19,000 votes in October alone. They were the only Husband and wife on the list, the only Americans in Government on the list. Clinton got almost 1,000 more votes than Saddam Hussein. She goes on to make comparisons with combined scores and so forth, but it gets to complicated and not enough space to write in this blog.

Gazebo

Yesterday my brother-in law and I built a gazebo over my Hot Tub. I know it sounds nice, but it's a lot of work. I've been doing carpentry on and off for about 25 years. This was the first gazebo I build but it came out very nice. I put in the Hot Tub this spring with four of my friends. We had to dig a 24 inch trench ( 30 feet long) for the electric, cut into my concrete walkway and build a platform for the tub. All this was done in one day. I used a canvass cover over it that I had lying around that I used over my back Patio before I bought a better one. I had to build a permanent structure to withstand the wind and snow. I would love to keep it uncovered but it would kill the jets with all the debris from the trees when people are in it. Anyway, its the first step.. Phase II starts this spring when I cover the poles in vinyl and paint the sides around the roof line, otherwise, its good to go.

Second Book update 11-4-09

My new Book is How to Talk to a Liberal (if you must) is very amusing. The author, Ann Coulter pits Ted Kennedy against John Ascroft by saying things like Ascroft was not thrown out of College for cheating on a Spanish test or got into college based on family pedigree, etc... She goes on and is talking about how Liberals have made the Gorenment react to Christianity in public schools and wonders how much longer Americans can survive liberalism. These are just a few of the facts that she poses in her book. I find most interesting and have to say I agrees with most but not all her beliefs. She pits comedy with her realization of facts as she sees them. Im almost to the end, but need to find more time to finish it before Thanksgiving.
