Bummer!

 

This is about all I accomplished yesterday....other than finding a simple route to the Albany Amtrak station.  No more fear of being out of my comfort zone.  Amtrak will now be a welcomed option. The city was hot, humid and oppressive.  I've never been so drained of energy from the heat. Just walking became an effort and that shouldn't be.
Norm Lewis was not in the play yesterday, he's in LA filming a TV series.  I was told he's commutes back and forth on the weekends. I understand his taking on another job, Porgy & Bess ends on the 23rd. of the month.
I can't even begin to tell you how disappointed I was.  He's the reason I made the trip.  I had my picture of him with my cousin Margot along w/me so he could autograph it for her and my old picture of him w/Gumby.  So very disappointed.........I can't begin to tell you.

I take that back. Something good did happen yesterday.
Somewhere a little north of Peekskill I saw a bald eagle perched on the bare limb of a dead or dying tree right along the Hudson River.  I couldn't believe what I had just seen and was dying to get my hands on a computer so check if they actually live in this area.  I did exactly that as soon as I got home. They do nest along the Hudson River and right in the area that I had see this magnificent bird.  Awesome!  I was an absolute "hawk-eye" on the trip home but all I saw were lots of heron, geese and ducks.

P.S.  After hearing your voice, I'm not so sad anymore...thank you.
