Catching up.

Thursday evening was interesting.  After my get-together with the TFAM group, the afternoon was pretty well shot.  We did a bit of banking, went home and sort of looked at each other.  Then I suggested that we have supper out, prior to the show.  David made a reservation ( good move, as it turned out) at the restaurant in the casino hotel.  This was the same place as we had our Thanksgiving dinner, and quite busy.  We took a cab, so that we could both have a drink during the evening.  Phoned, and were told that it would be 10-20 minutes.  So we both  relaxed a bit.  I headed for the bathroom and barely got in before David shouts that the cab was there.  So a scramble to get our coats etc.  It turned out that the driver only lives a few blocks from us and had just been starting his evening shift.  The dinner was good, then on to the show.  That was disappointing.  The poor Kenny Rogers impersonator was a probably our age, and admitted that he was a cancer survivor. ( too much information, maybe?) The lady impersonating Dolly Parton, maybe tried a little too hard.  She was wearing heeled shoes with no back, and had trouble walking.  I wondered if the shoes were an effort to create a Parton-like walk.  The fellow had obviously read the Winnipeg paper and made quite a few "local" jokes.  None particularly funny.  The best thing about it was the back up band. The show lasted about an hour and 10 minutes.  I'm glad that it was a free show.  The couple sitting next to us had come in from Kenora and had a room at the hotel.  An expensive evening for them.  I think we might be hesitant to go to see a tribute band again.  There is a Patsy Cline  one coming soon, that David expressed an interest in.  We'll see.

Nothing coming up that is too exciting.  David watches tv, and plays Poker.  There are a couple of new games that he's finding interesting.  I'm keeping busy in the studio.  Not much art going on, but I am working, and that pleases me.
