WHITE CHRISTMAS
I forgot to mention that we were treated to free tickets at the Pantages Theatre to see "White Christmas on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Since the tickets were given by Karena's patient, we got the best seats I've ever gotten for a musical -- 13th row right at the aisle! We got to walk up and see the orchestra and everything.
Although I thought it was well done, I have to admit that we just don't fit the musical scene. There were many gay people there, including a guy who sat right in front of us that was so excited that he clapped loudly for everything and kept yelling "Yeah!!!" after each scene. Plus, there were many elderly couples there.
And since Karena had put in many long hours of work prior to see the show, she slept through most of the first act.
We felt privileged to see the show and to check out Hollywood and to finally see the Metrolink station (where a homeless guy asked me repeatedly for money since I was all dressed up). Still, as Karena said that night, "I think we're done with the whole musical thing. We've both seen many of them and that's enough."
