Candide






Tonight, we went to see the musical "Candide", up on Belmont on the north side. Glenn picked up Lori and Greg, and we drove into the city. Meanwhile, Marlis scoped out the neighborhood, and found us a little restaurant across the street from the theater--Cooper's. Very good food--I had pulled pork, Glenn had brisket, and the girls had chicken pot pies. And we all enjoyed the beer.

Before the play, the bartender at the theater, Georgia, expressed a sincere desire for my Obama button, so I gave it to her--that's her in the picture. Hi Georgia!

The play was lots of fun. Staged in the round, there was plenty of action very close to us. Its first run on Broadway was in 1955, and it closed after four nights. But the music was really good, despite its operatic (yeah, you know me) nature.

Sounds like fun! More cultured than us Southern Pulliams. Our big show is "W."
