This has been a Shawna Caspi weekend. I saw her Friday at the American Folk Art Museum and Saturday at the Old Franklin Schoolhouse in Metuchen.
Yesterday was my birthday. For the first time in five years, I celebrated it my favorite way of celebrating, going out with one friend that I love to do something I love. Gen and I went to see Tomoko’s Post Bop Gypsies.
For my birthday Carey not, Carey asked what Broadway show I wanted to see. Without hesitation I said, Come From Away He was able to get tickets for the day before my birthday. I’m disappointed that tickets were available. It should be sold-out for months in advance.
