Crossing Einstein On The Beach off my bucket list… again!
I haven’t flown on a plane since… 2007? I’m excited to once again partake in the miracle of human flight.
Happy Seeing-EOTB-Again-2-Days-After-My-33rd Birthday to me!
I’ll be back in you soon, Brooklyn.
(It should be noted that there are only three things for which I’m not afraid to spend my money: food, heating/AC, live music.)

Philip Glass isn’t for everybody, but he’s a hero of mine. This is a beautiful piece of art. It is the final piece from his 5+ hour-long masterpiece. Text by Mr. Samuel Johnson.
Finally she spoke:
“Do you love me, John?” she asked.“You know I love you, darling.” he replied.
“I love you more than tongue can tell. You are the light of my life, my sun, moon and stars. You are my everything. Without you I have no reason for being.”Again there was silence as the two lovers sat on a park bench, their bodies touching, holding handls in the moonlight. Once more she spoke.
“How much do you love me, John?” she asked.
He answered:
“How much do I love you? Count the stars in the sky. Measure the waters of the oceans with a teaspoon. Number the grains of sand on the sea shore. Impossible, you say. Yes and it is just as impossible for me to say how much I love you.“My love for you is higher than the heavens, deeper than Hades, and broader than the earth. It has no limits, no bounds. Everything must have an ending except my love for you.”
There was more of silence as the two lovers sat on a park bench with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight. Once more her voice was heard.
“Kiss me, John” she implored.
And leaning over, he pressed his lips warmly to hers in fervent osculation.

I’m on my way up to Toronto to cross another item off my bucket list; this one is near the top.
This photo was taken from seat N49 at Toronto’s wonderful Sony Centre, where I’ll be enjoying Philip Glass’ masterpiece Einstein on the Beach*.
My seat is actually K47, which you can see three rows up and two seats over. That might be the best $152 I’ve ever spent. Commence squeeing!
*(…on Saturday, June 9th at 6pm. Hey Toronto peeps, can I crash on your couch/floor/kitchen table that night?)
Serious Question
Who will be joining me in Toronto on June 9th or 10th for the north american premiere of Philip Glass’ Einstein On The Beach?
Tickets go on sale this Monday, March 19th, and I plan to buy two seats immediately, because it will surely sell out quickly.
If you are interested in joining me, please let me know ASAP so we can discuss which showing works best for us.

PG two days in a row? You’d better believe it.
I was in this prematurely air-conditioned supermarket and there were all these aisles and there were these bathing caps that you could buy that had these kind of Fourth-of-July plumes on them that were red and yellow and blue, and I wasn’t tempted to buy one, but I was reminded of the fact that I had been avoiding the beach.
