I won’t know until Tuesday or Wednesday, but I’m fairly certain I will have one ticket for sale. You would be in the row with me, Cygnus, and 4rkidz. Just post here if interested and I’ll contact you.

I think the winners are going to be the team that finally figures out that the alliance strategy that wins you BB is not the strategy that wins you AR; for AR you need the racing for yourselves, no helping others strategy. They all need to dump the BB mindset fast.

I’m fine with the majority vote. Saskatoon Inn or Earls seem good choices.

Yes, I have chronic kidney disease, stage 3, and this is the amount all my doctors urge me to drink every day. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate is their battle cry.

Coffee is my favorite flavor for ice cream, I love mocha-flavored layer cake, I love coffee in barbecue sauce, but I do not drink coffee, never have. I’m a tea drinker through and through, but only decaf - English Breakfast or Irish Breakfast, but these days I rarely drink even those. For...

Back in the late 70s there used to be a once-a-year skating event at MSG called Superskates; one year almost every skater at the event skated to Donna Summer. I don’t remember exactly who appeared that year but it was nonstop Donna Summer. I’m not a disco fan and couldn’t wait to flee after the...

Sad, no matter which came first.

At his age, 87, pneumonia by itself was a problem, but then COVID added to the danger. Life is a crapshoot these days.

The Murderbot books are wonderful, the series not so much. I find it a huge disappointment.

I said it then, when I saw it live at Skate Canada, and I’ll say it now: It was the height of tastelessness to co-opt another country’s national tragedy and skate around in a sparkly skating dress to those voiceovers. That sealed the deal for my intense dislike of Medvedeva.

Finally, a few dance outings: Last week: Paul Taylor at The Joyce. The highlight for me was Cloven Kingdom. Last night: the first of the two Giselles I’m seeing. Act 1 was stolen by the sensational Peasant Pas of Lea Fleytoux and Jake Roxander and Act 2 was stolen by the Myrta of Ingrid Thoms...

Well, this Boomer had crushes, but it wasn’t for singers. I was into all those actors who played in the endless rounds of TV westerns. Will Hutchins as Sugarfoot springs to mind. I was busy cutting pictures out of movie and tv magazines, not reading Tiger Beat.
