All I Want is Music Music Music

It's been a musical couple of weeks for me. We saw Art Garfunkel at the local community college. We were in the second row of a small venue. He still has a clear, sweet, lyrical voice. About 2/3 of the songs were from Simon and Garfunkel.

We went to the brand new Grammy Museum in the "L.A. Live" section of Los Angeles. It was fantastic. An average stay at the museum is 90 minutes. We were there for 4 hours! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland is larger and better, but we thoroughly enjoyed this museum. There were lots of videos and interactive exhibits.

Tonight we just got back from seeing "Movin Out," by Billy Joel and Twyla Tharp. It featured 24 Billy Joel classics in song and dance. The band and the dancers were awesome. What a thrill! I saw Twyla Tharp's choreography at the Kennedy Center Honors and loved it, too.

For Valentine's Day, it's back to the local performing arts center for a cabaret show of Broadway show tunes from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Andrew Lloyd Weber. We get "drinks and light fare" as we sit at candle-lit tables on the stage!

Fleetwood Mac is coming to town in May so I'm thinking of trying for tickets to see them.

Who wants to guess where I'll be going in April? Your choices are:
1. South America
2. Antarctica
3. China
4. Japan
5. France, Switzerland, Austria and Germany

Questions

What have you used almost every day for your entire adult life? What have you had for all those years and never replaced?

I replaced mine! At the after-Christmas sales, I purchased a new set of everyday stainless flatware! They're beautiful...so bright and shiny! The utensils are larger than my old ones. I feel like I'm eating with serving forks and spoons. The set came with more serving pieces, but less teaspoons than my old set. It's a set of 12 place settings. I'm so happy that I took the plunge and bought it!

If your pet were to write an autobiography, what would it be titled? I have a few suggestions for Cleo:
Mr. Puffy suggested, "Life in the Big House."
I might title it, "The Easy Life" or "How to Get What You Want Without Really Trying."

What kind of car would your pet drive?
Again, Mr. Puffy suggests that Cleo would drive a Smart Car or a VW bug.
