STOMP!

Yesterday we went to New York and as we got to the NY skyline I had such pleasant flashbacks to when the Girls got together for the first time ( next time, Leane, you WILL be there). We had such fun and I can't wait til we do it again.
We went in to do something special. Murray gave us tickets to see STOMP at the Orpheum theater in Greenage Village. Hundreds of people, some of which you question if human, milling around the streets. All the little shops. They will put a store in the smallest of spaces. We ate at a Greek restaurant and the food was good.
If you haven't seen STOMP on TV, look for it...it is awesome. We had orchestra seats...which I normally don't like because it is too close. But the theater is small although it holds 350 . This time though it was great because you got to see the expressions on the performers faces. You could tell they loved what they were doing and it was funny also. STOMP is about these people taking all kinds of everyday items like brooms, garbage cans, rubber hoses, etc. and makes rythm...loud rythm... with them. The whole theater , walls, ceiling was covered with junk from a junk yard. It was great!!!!! Thank you, my Murray!
Speaking of my Murray...you remember he is getting married in a non-conventional way. I asked him if he was getting Mary a ring and he said not necessarily. I told him about two rings that I had if he would be interested...one was mine that Frank gave me when Gregg was about 2, so that was about 35 years ago. Actually it was the first ring he gave me. I haven't worn it in years. The second was from Frank's great-aunt Daisy. It was too small for me. Aunt Daisy was the renegade in her family...I always felt I could relate to her. :-) I think I might have met her once. Anyway, when she died, all her rings went to Frank's Mom and she passed them around and I ended with this one. I took the rings out and looked at them and decided I couldn't part with the ring Frank gave me :-) so I really pushed Aunt Daisy's ring. He loved it, partly because it is a pretty little ring , actually a real engagement ring. And partly because it is old and from the family. My boys are really traditional in family ways.
So I kept my ring...I wonder if Gregg will want it and if I will be able to give it up then? I really love the idea of keeping it in the family. I can't wait til Murray gives it to Mary....
Oh, did I tell you it is 4:00 in the morning? Can you tell by how long this blog is? :-)
Sometimes I wake up and can't go back to sleep...thanks for listening... Uh, reading this AP
