March 8, 2009

This was the day we all lost an hour of sleep. I may have to rant about that on another post. In spite of that speedbump, we brunched at Eden again, and again it was wonderful. I wish more people would find this treasure. Today, we were joined by Susan Reno, a Paralegal at Strasburger. That's MOI, Susan and Molli. The dirty grey Camry is my baby who I failed to wash in order to get rain. Maybe I'll get it washed this week.


And here are Danielle, Susan and Molli. Molli looks terrific after her recent encounter with THE KNIFE and is returning to work on Monday.

Wendy was in Tennessee visiting family and friends and Rose was sick in bed. Hopefully, they'll be able to make our next brunch for which we are already scheduled - when Vicki is here.

After our wonderful brunch, Susan and I went downtown to the Majestic Theatre and saw The Rat Pack Live at the Sands. It was a blast from the past. I saw Sinatra in the late 70s at Ceasar's Palace and was moved to tears. No lie! He was stupendous.

In this production, Stephen Triffitt played Sinatra and he was very good but his voice was way too smooth. Very enjoyable, though, and he had the moves down.

David Hayes did a really good job playing Sammy; in fact, if you closed your eyes, you'd think it really was Sammy. He had a lot of Sammy's moves down and could dance a bit, but Sammy was tiny and this guy wasn't.

Mark Adams did a SPOT ON job playing Dean Martin. He sounded like him, moved like him and except for a larger nose, looked like him. And he drank like him. He was my favorite - can you tell? All in all, it was a terrific show. I would recommend it to locals but yesterday was the last day.

Well, that's it for now. I have an appointment with the dentist for a cleaning on Thursday but don't think that's blogable. Vicki will be arriving soon and that WILL be blogable.

Ciao for now, mi amici.
