Packing, packing, and more packing!

Does this look familiar? We are moving 3 weeks from today!!!!

The Producers

Oops! Forgot to write about our first show of the season at the North Shore Music Theatre...The Producers, which we saw 2 weekends ago.

We love the NSMT...this is our second year with season's tickets. They put on such a great show and with theatre-in-the-round there isn't a bad seat in the house. Also, we are thrilled not to have to drive into Boston for the shows!

Our review of this show: probably 3 out of 5 stars. Even if you've seen the movie, you know that this show is LONG. And it was a little too long for our liking. But the company did a good job...in particular, the costumes were phenomenal. You might recall that in the production of Springtime for Hitler there are chorus girls...one with a giant pretzel on her head, one with a giant kielbasa, and two others (who were evidently less memorable, since I can't recall what they had on their heads!). Anyway, the pretzel and kielbasa were hilarious. Probably the part of the show that we enjoyed the most...which I'm guessing is less a reflection on the show than on Dave and me!

Golf Tourney

I played in my first charity golf tournament on Thursday! It was a rainy, cold day, so not optimal weather...and of course all of the wet grass affected play. But it was fun. The tournament was to benefit the Protestant Guild Learning Center in Waltham, MA...a private school for kids with developmental disabilities. They're one of our first customer schools for our software. And you know what they say...the worst day on the course still beats the best day at the office!

Here's a pic of me from the tourney...I might look a little bit different from last time you saw me.

Wii Fit

So here's my latest thing: the Wii Fit. Have you tried this?!? It is simply AWESOME. It include yoga, balancing games, aerobic games, and strength building games. And it is SO much fun. I think my favorite so far is the Hula Hoop!

My tap dancing performance

This is hilarious...my performance in the "Tap Showcase" from last Saturday. Adult tap-dancing classes...who knew?!?

TapOle

Last night Dave and I went to see a performance by the group TapOle. The group includes two Spanish tap dancers and two Spanish guitarists. They were simply INCREDIBLE. We had great seats...completely unobstructed views of the dancers' feet.

It's funny because these professionals just make it look so darn easy, but now that I'm tapping I really have an appreciation for how difficult it is to make it look so easy!

Even Dave thought they were phenomenal. So if you have the chance to see them, do: http://www.tapole.com/english/index.asp

Book Club in Connecticut

We had a really fun book club this month. Angela flew in from LA to be a special guest member. We miss having her in the group, so it was great having her here...maybe this will be an annual event!

For the actual book club, we were lucky to be invited down to Hilary's parents farm in Litchfield, Connecticut for an overnight trip. Such nice people...they showed us amazing hospitality and their home was beautiful. They had already read the book that we read this month, Don't Let's go to the Dogs Tonight, so they joined our book discussion. Their book club has read many of the same books we have, so it turned into an interesting, meandering discussion of many books.

Spring was just starting to, well, spring when we were there....plants starting to come out...some pics of that here too.
