Well, the birthday cake/alfredo-sauce/wine/bedtime-later-than-10pm must have gone to my head, because we are BACK, ladies and gentlemen, to a wacky Broadway theme this week: Ladies and Gentlemen! No, really. That's the theme, not the salutation. Ladies and gents, guys, dolls, dames...that sorta thing. I know, I must be desperate. But desperate times call for ...well, YOU know.
But lemme tell ya, the ladies really win out here, numbers-wise. There are a plethora of Lady songs on Broadway; in fact, the whole first hour of this edition will be spent with them... The Perfect, The Tramps, The Tattooed, The Pretty, Mysterious and Lunching. The Gents (and Guys) will be relegated to Hour 2. They (The Wonderful, The Blonde Preferring, The Dopes) will even have to share Hour Number 2 with the Dames (At Sea and Shady!). Ahhhh well, you gotta treat her like a lady and she'll be...well, YOU know!
Yup, that was me (above), frolicking on Birthday Night!
See, I must still be on a sugar high. Have to tighten my belt and my resolve to eschew the toxic, get my zzzz's, and spirulina-it-up for the rest of the month. Maybe by November, I can have a cheat day. Or week. Smoothies and quinoa are fine for a time, but biscuits and gravy (and gin) comfort the cockles.
