We've Returned



We returned late Tuesday from our bus tour of Washington, DC. It was a little tiring but good. We were too late for the cherry blossoms but the redbuds and dogwoods were in their prime. It was surprisingly warm for April. We quickly viewed the popular sights we've seen a few times before. Our regrets are having only two days for seeing the city. One needs at least a week for Washington. We're always thankful for returning safely.

City Center Grand Opening

This was truly a GRAND Opening. We spent most of the day and lavished in it. The parade down Clematis Street was fun with the symbolic moving of all the city departments. The many speeches, music, the tours and all the celebration excitement was more fun than I expected. The new city hall is terrific. You really need to see it. And the library. THE LIBRARY. It's better than I could have wished. Come downtown -- West Palm Beach. You gotta see it!

Terrific Show at the Kravis

We saw Fiddler on the Roof last night at the Kravis and I can report it was top notch in every regard. I don't see how the Broadway show could have been any better than this roadshow. It is a show not to be missed.

This morning we went to a memorial service for Barbara Gault at the Cohen Pavilion in the Kravis. It was attended by many in theater and arts who spoke humorously, movingly, and lovingly of Mrs. Gault.

"Christ Is Risen."

Happy Easter! The stone is rolled away. Everyone's in church, Easter anthem, thrilling special music, arrays of lilies, new duds, colored eggs, chocolate bunnies, ham -- all fond but fading memories for this heathen. After biting the ears off the chocolate bunny, what's left? Eating all the rest -- and remorse.

Oh Hell

Oh Hell was again the game of choice this Saturday night. Pat, with her gaming prowess, was the easy winner.

Jane's Birthday



We enjoyed Jane's birthday today by lunching at Taboo then attending a concert by The Yale Whiffenpoofs at Pan's Garden and then going to The Four Arts to view the movie "Flawless." We were pleased to meet Serena there.
