It is now the ninth day of the new year. So far it has been a busy year, weather wise, sports wise, political wise, military wise and even here in Oak Ridge. All in just nine days.
Yesterday Tammy, Dottie, Tina and I went to the Tennessee Theater and was the stage play, “Tootsie”. It was cute, funny and all around great. The players were fabulous. All very talented and never skipped a beat in their rolls. A great experience and wonderful way to spend a rainy, cold cloudy, damp afternoon. Afterwards we went to The Barley Pizza for dinner. That was also a fun experience.
The Tennessee Theater is a very old, well preserved, re-furbished theater in the heart of Knoxville. It is beautiful with all the elegance of the 1980 and early 1900s. I do hope to go back for a few things. It is like the Smith Center in Las Vegas with having stage plays, groups, touring concerts, and individual performers, etc. They are having, this year so far, CATS, HAMILTON, AIN’T TOO PROUD and ,music individuals such as Tommy Emmanuel, Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band and Home Free… ROAD SWEET ROAD. Comedians like Ruddy Guy’s Dam Right FAREWELL, WHOSE LIVE ANYWAY? and BEN FOLDS. The TEMPTATIONS stage experience will be there sometime this year, probably early fall.
That was the highlight of the weekend. I told Tina and Jerry that I couldn’t attend the theater as they didn’t allow racoon in there. Jerry, being so kind, said that he would get me a “service animal jacket”. So thoughtful.

Have a great rest of your Monday. Make it a spiffy, beautiful, exciting, educational and fun day.
