Johnna'sWorld: Kiss Me Kate

a Dose of Dave (Barry)

Thanksgiving is not merely a time of eating until we are big fat bloated carbohydrate balloons lying motionless on the sofa watching the Detroit Lions while actual gravy oozes from our pores. Thanksgiving is also a time of giving thanks --as the Pilgrims did so many centuries ago --for the fact that the malls are open on Friday. Otherwise we'd have to spend another day cooped up with our loved ones, not to mention toxic levels of leftovers, and the number of domestic drumstick assaults would be even higher than it is.

Not everybody is comfortable with the idea of eating turkeys, which are, let’s face it, living organisms, like dogs or celery. You may wonder: Is there a more humanitarian option that you can serve for Thanksgiving dinner? There certainly is: tofu, a semi-foodlike substance secreted by soybeans as a defense mechanism. Tofu can be used as a high-protein substitute, as well as a denture adhesive or tile grout. In its natural state, tofu is tasteless and odorless, but if you form it into a turkey-shaped lump, season it well, add gravy, and bake it for two hours in a shallow pan at 350 degrees, you can also use it for minor driveway repairs.

Kiss Me Kate

Great play...and it runs for one more weekend.

:-(

Come for the play, listen for the oboe...

:-)

Barbara, Kyleigh, & I were able to see this show last Sunday and loved it. This is one of Cole Porter's finest.

;-)

'ya know how a particular tune runs through your head and you just can't shake it? One such tune from this play is "Brush Up Your Shakespeare." So, don't go to the following website and watch the video unless you are willing to get hooked...

NOTE: 30 March 2009. I also attended the last performance yesterday afternoon. It was a hoot and I picked up more of the jokes this time.
