Saturday 9
D rive My Car Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Drive My Car (1965) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here . 1) Who would you allow, without hesitation, to drive your car? My significant other, my older daughter, two of my sisters. Younger daughter and my other sister don’t really drive. 2) When you're riding in the backseat, do you use your seatbelt?

Ramblings
I think I’ll avoid Eisenhower Park for awhile …there was a …situation …there Wednesday night. A shooting, gang-related, leaving one dead and two wounded. There was a “barbecue”, all of the attendees were from out of town. A lot of gang members. Scary. With half the county’s police force in the park now, I’m sure it’s very safe.

And when we come back … we can start preparing for actual summer. I’m going to try to be more active this summer. I’m working on building my strength and endurance. I’m not just walking, I’m also doing chair yoga and the strength-building exercises I get from the on line physic...

BROADWAY!
So last night we headed into NYC to see It’s a musical based on E. L. Doctorow’s book. Set in 1906, it tells the story of three different groups — a white middle class family from New Rochelle, a Black musician and his girlfriend from Harlem, and an Eastern European Jewish immigrant and his daughter living on the Lower East Side. Each represents a different aspect of American life at the turn of the century. And these seemingly unrelated groups interact… Interesting story, great music, wonderful performances. It’s playing at the Vivian Beaumont Theater, a small venue at Lincoln Center. I’ve always thought the fountain outside of that theater was interesting. It’s red bucket season. Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is a charitable organization. Periodically they do fundraising at the various theaters, the performers stand in the lobby with red buckets after the show and solicit donations. After the show we went to P. J. Clarke’s ...
