So Steve, Val and I went to New York this past weekend to "stretch our minds" a bit - uh, rather we"got away" from anything remotely serious and stressful....and saw these 2 shows! "Blonde" was silly and fun...and Spamalot was too funny....2nd row seats allowed us to bask in the spit and sweat of none other than Clay Aiken and his cohorts in comedy! Everyone should spend a weekend away doing absolutely nothing productive! :)

(oh, and btw - there is NO recession imminent -don't believe a word of what the government is telling you.... at least not that we saw in NYC - there were TONs of people, all spending money, with full restaurants, sold out shows and traffic as usual!)
