Surprise, b*tch.

Hit my target weight first in late January, and remained there, consistently, since early February. No fluctuation, not up, not down. I indulge, I do not overindulge. Never hungry, just mindful. Aware. Woke, you might say. Weight woke.

So, when do I quit the weight loss app? It's not cheap.

For our post-annual playlist stretch we will take on the pre-show music from Kimberly Belflower's Tony-nominated play, John Proctor is The Villain.

It was amazing attending that show with the family to begin our adventure. I've never seen so many young people, young women, at the public performance of a play before. Not a musical, a play. I hoped it would be a successful production, and it certainly is. The entire company is amazing.

Why don't you run from me?

Merrily We Roll Along was pitch-perfect and you have to ask yourself how it failed in the first place. Blame must be offered to Hal Prince and his abstract concept because Sondheim’s music and lyrics are outstanding. 

The book isn’t bad, either, though it is true (the wife and I talked about this on the subway home) that Mary is a seriously underdeveloped character. Last night, though, understudy Jamila Sabares-Klemm stepped into the role and she was excellent. A tremendous ensemble. So delighted to have this chance to see it.
