The Judy Garland show at Symphony Hall was spectacular! I had no idea what an amazing performer she was, although I am not a big fan of that type of music, it was a terrific show and we enjoyed every minute of it. At first we were a bit concerned going into Symphony Hall, we were two of the rare few without walkers or Hoverrounds, and we sat on the floor at a table surrounded by other tables with loud, complaining, large elders…but soon we forgot all about them. Just before the show started Barry Manilow walked in and took a seat at a table two rows up…I was suprised he was still alive, he did look a bit stretched to the limit (if you know what I mean) there is no more skin that can be nipped and tucked, he has taken the epidermis to it’s MAX! I wanted him to get up there and sing Copacabana, you know swing that new hip he just got, alas he left right after the lights came up. My cohort wanted me to get an autograph….I don’t even like the man why would I bother him for a signature, and it wouldn’t get crap on ebay anyway. I bought a t-shirt as well as some alcoholic beverages, hey thats the cheapest beer in Boston $4 for a Heineken!!!!! It would have been sacrilege not to partake especially at a Judy Garland show, she used to hang out in Ptown with the boys at the bar getting sloshed…oh my god…I just realized….I may be Judy Garland reincarnated….
I was people watching as we rode the T into town…..trying to figure out where each persons mind was roaming to…because seldom are there people who are right there in the moment…..you should try it, try not listening to your brain, just concentrate on the moment your in..this is all you have..it’s freaking tough, my mind is always creating clatter, trying to take me on field trips back to college (I think I went to college…must have, I got a t-shirt) push me forward into the future, it’s difficult not to listen to the brain chatter and concentrate on the moment, how your body feels, what everything IS at this moment in time…right now I am going to snap a picture of me and upload it so you can see what I am at this time on Monday evening
Don’t hate…don’t hate.
It’s a short week, not short enough though….
BTW the Pear Martini was delicious, and the Cannondale fund is leap frogging ahead, keep sending in those pennies, dimes, nickels and cans and bottles!!!
