Raring to Go - Part 2
After I returned home this afternoon, I spent 2 hours going through the 60 photos I took at the Minnesota State Fair today. Jon and I didn’t try to make it to all the areas as we are returning on Monday.

Smokey Joe's Cafe: Sizzling and Sultry
Often when I attend the theater, I’ve either done the show, seen it before or am very familiar with the material. I admit none of these things applied to “Smokey Joe’s Cafe”. I was only marginally familiar with some of the songs and had never seen a production of this musical revue. The big positive was I could sit back, relax, put my critical eye ( Read more... ) -
