What a way to start out a week, eh?
The Republicans have landed and yet we go into NYC- are we crazy!
But Holly had some free tickets to an off-Broadway show her friend is in (Menapause, the Musical - it was a hoot!) and you can't beat that!
At the show, we are markedly the youngest in the audience (everyone else appears to relate to the subject matter very well). But hey, it's a good show - I never knew you could write so many song parodies about menopause, but they pulled it off! I jokingly recommended "Pregnancy - the Musical" as a follow-up; having experienced *that* first hand, it sounds a lot like the big change, but at least there is an end in site!
After the show, we head two blocks over (89th ?) and stop in some bar to have a drink.
Mind you, we are 3 moms from Westchester out on a Tuesday night - one drink is probably it for us! I sit down, order my yummy Mojito and lo and behold - Schwarzenegger is on the telly. Great - just give me alcohol and fodder for ranting and raving....
On my right is an older gent in a white suit - a Col. Sanders, sans the facial hair (heck, the only similarities are the white suit and age - don't know why I named him C.S. in retrospect) agreeing with all my ranting and raving about the Bush twins and their dumb, scripted remarks, trying to pat my back as often as he can. Recognizing a potential Johnny FeelGood, I ease out of conversation distance and go back to my friends, who imform me that he spent the rest of the evening staring, trying to make eye contact. Lucky me, I get all the crazy ones!
As we get up to pile in the minivan for the ride home, I wave goodbye - but too late! He's already over and HUGGING me like a long-lost uncle! Hmm, his hands appear to wander around to the front of my chest - good lord!!!!! I shove him away, smile and run! So much for a quiet Tuesday night - of course my friends caught it all and now we can have a good laugh thinking of that KFC patriarch!
Lesson Learned: Just because they *LOOK* old and sweet, doesn't mean they are!
