SATURDAY NIGHT DATE

We went to the theater last night. Dinner first and then the play.

Our friend Tom has been a regular on the local theater circuit and we have never gone to see him perform.

We needed to make that up and last night, we did.

He is in a production of Noises Off, the British farce by Michael Frayn.

We had a good time. Tom was very good in the role of Frederick Fellows/Philip Brent.

The entire cast was mostly up for the extremely complicated action that takes place with eight doors and a window.

We started with dinner at an old favorite, Al Dente, and then strolled the length of Palm Canyon Drive, the main drag through the village.

We haven't had this walk in a very long time. There are some changes. More night clubby than it was. There was a good turnout. Business seems to be OK. There are many more closed stores and restaurants than there were a few years ago. Much like it was when we got here in 1996 and the Savings and Loan debacle had just subsided.

It was a nice evening.

I haven't stayed up until 11 PM for a very long time. I will probably have some jet lag today from the change of hours but it is an easy day.

I took an extra nap yesterday, a sort of running start, then slept and hour late this morning and will snooze some extra nap time today. It is all a bit complicated but it will work out.
