A Night Out

Yesterday we saw 'Spamalot' at the Ahmeson theater in downtown Los Angeles but more about that later. In fact it was a miracle that we were able to see the show considering the trauma that we experienced prior to the show at a Sizzler restaurant. First off let me establish that the girl taking our order could not have been old enough to drive. If she was 15 it would be stretching things. As the Missus and I placed our orders for the salad bar the sweet little thing chirped "Is that a senior salad bar?" Let me just say that all conversation in the place stopped as everyone turned to see who the two oldsters were who must have been standing at the register with their walkers and hearing aids. Of course all they saw were two youthful adults in the prime of their lives and no seniors at all. But, being the frugal types that we are, with a shrug of the shoulder to indicate our nonchalance we said "Sure, senior salad bar, yeah that's the ticket". In the end we saved a buck fifty but that was after we spent five minutes straightening out the order and eliminating the extra salad bar and other mistakes she made. Oh well, when you are so young mistakes happen...like mistaking people's ages!!!!!!!

Spamalot was very funny and very good. It is the expanded version of the show that was (or maybe still is) running in Las Vegas. John O'Hurley (the boss from Seinfeld) plays King Arthur and was very good. The songs were good, the jokes funny, and the chorus girls were pretty. What more can you ask for? When we left the parking garage we ran smack into the traffic exiting Dodger stadium from a night game. All seemed lost as we were diverted around and around but due to clean living and good luck we ended up on freeway and headed home.

Tomorrow we leave for Big Bear!
