What A Day!!!???

Last night I was enjoying a very nice green salad, when I felt what seemed like a piece of gravel, only to find out it was part of a very large filling. Dentist visit where I was told I need three crowns, yech. Not a cheap process, why didn’t I become a dentist?.

Then this morning one of our barn cats, Tara, passed away inside our barn door. She was probably about 12 1/2 year old. We knew she had issues, but this was out of the blue. She was a rescue cat from Duncan. A very pretty cat but quite skittish. Very sad.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day, going to Nanaimo to deliver a car for a client and then on to Salt spring Island for lunch.

The Last Night of the Proms Royal Albert Hall

This past Saturday, September 12, 2009, my wife and I attended a live simulcast from the Royal Albert Hall in London England of The Last Night of the Proms shown at an almost sold out Silvercity Theatre at Tillicum Mall.

There were several solo performances by Alison Balsom on trumpet. Also operatic performance by Sarah Connolly along with a finale by her of Rule Britannia, with her in full Nelson regalia. This was an extremely rousing performance that required a compulsory encore, where the whole audience participated. They showed other simulcast performances in Hyde Park, London, County Down Ireland, Glasgow Green, Scotland and others. The whole show was extremely well done and appeared to be a lot of fun to the audition in attendance. The show ended with a rousing rendition of Land of Hope and Glory and the audition completed the whole performance  by singing Auld Lang Syne.

The BBC orchestra, with chorus and choir were conducted with great enthusiasm by the American maestro David Robertson.

This is a not to be missed show, so when it comes to Silver City next year be sure to sure to go, I will.

Taking Woodstock the movie

By all means pass on this movie, it was the worst attempt at comedy, drama and pathos I have ever seen. I wanted to leave after the first 10 minutes and get a refund, but I was with friends. All through the movie you kept waiting for it  to get better and to have a reasonable story line. It had a few funny parts, but in general just a waste of time. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately for Eugene Levy  he was only in the movie for a short period. The funniest part of the whole show was Liev Schreiber as cross-dressing ex-marine sergeant. I never made it to Woodstock and after seeing this dreadful movie I am glad I never did. The movie is over 2 hours long. If you really think you want to see it, wait till it is on TV and then you can TiVo it and fast forward through the awful bits.
