May I be struck by lightning - the brightest lightning!!! I did meet a nice Ukrainian boy at the play!

Well, a nice 24 year old single Dutch actor pretending to be a 32 year old single Ukrainian doctor. (Actually, I'm not sure how to prounce his real last name. It's not easy to say like "Czajkowski" or "Shevchenko".)

Baba and Gido's 50th Wedding Anniversary was worth the extra wait. It was hilarious!!! If they bring it back for a third time, I'd probably go again. The cast would circulate through the crowd and talk to and about the people as if they were really their family and friends. We got an extra warm reception at the door and free drinks to compensate for the previous night's confusion. My friend Christina and I even surprised the cast by starting the whole crowd clinking glasses for Baba and Gido to kiss! I wonder how many people thought that was planned!!!

Throughout the show, Baba kept trying to look for a prospective wife for her son, Terry. She would circulate through the crowd asking women if they were single, if they could cook and how big they make their cabbage rolls. I told her that "her" son is very handsome, and when I make my kutia, it always sticks to the ceiling.

Even though it was only a play, "Terry" was really cute!!! On the way out, I gave him my business card and told him to give me a call if he was really looking for a wife. He said he is single, but not a doctor and added, "I'm 24, but I can play older".

I resisted saying, "I'm 29, but I can play younger"!

Regarding my other so-called invitation, I've decided not to attend Peter and Sophie's 40th Anniversary Party in favor of Folkfest.
