On Sunday, Michael, Dad, Bonnie and I went to a musical in Berkeley. My friend Brandilyn was the musical director and it was their last performance. The title was "A Shirtwaist Tale" and it was about Jewish shirtwaist makers in early America who were over worked and under payed. The musical tells of their strike and the hardships they endured. It was a great experience and the best part was the music, by far. Not only did Brandilyn direct the musical aspect of the play, but she also played the clarinet and rocked it out if I do say so myself!! Afterwards, we joined the cast and crew for a Chinese dinner. It was Dad and Bonnie's first experience in Berkeley and I think they really enjoyed themselves.
So it is a rare occasion when Michael and I attend the theater and we decided that one who attends theater must dress appropriately. So we did and it was fun. Even though I was 9 1/2 months pregnant, it felt good to dress up.

Michael, Brandilyn and MeThis past Monday night, a few of us got together to rock it out at the bowling alley. There was Liz (Mz. Peggy Bruiser), Washington, Grace, Rich, Chris, and Michael and I. It was too much fun. Not only were we laughing up a storm, there also was a DJ who was playing early nineties music. We're talking Toni Tony Tone, Color Me Bad, Boyz 2 Men, Notorious BIG, LL Cool J and the like. So needless to say, we got our groove on! As it turns out, I am not the best prego bowler. The first two games I played, I sucked, relatively. So by the third game I tried to mix things up a bit and decided to bowl the entire game left handed. I doubled my score. I may never bowl right handed again!! Fear and relish in the power of the hand of left!!!
Michael, Chris and I were on one team: The Solid Gold Fantastics!, and Liz, Washington, Grace and Rich were on the other. I think their name was something like "The Tin So-So's." I can't remember. And considering the fact that they had one more player than us and we still scored higher than them (according to my memory!) we were the overall first place, blue ribbon, medal winners. Number 1. Yeah, that's pretty much how it went.
