Summer Weekend

Well as we all know Summer is finally here! This is the best time of the year to be in the Mini-apple, I can't believe that I really said that.

This is a Sex in the City weekend and yes i went to see the movie. I must admit that it was much better then what I expected, some great one liners I only hope that I can remember some of them for the future. Of course after a movie there is always a little morsel that is needed to rehash the movie. I will probably never admit that I went to Ruby Tuesday's but I have to say there burgers were very good. So much for Ruby Tuesdays.

Yesterday the weather was not the best but when somebody offers you the opportunity to go to Wayzata how could one refuse. Sunset's on the water always makes for a great place for food and a good view. There salad's are not only good but a good selection and best of all they are not small portions. After a good lunch it is time for a walk thru town and a little window shopping. Oh my is that Ben & Jerry's..why yes could that mean ice cream is in my future..why yes it is. I can't believe that a 3 scoops of that incredible dessert was just the best way to finish a wonderful day.

This is the summer and every outing needs to be by water and in a state of 10,000 lakes that is an easy thing to do.

Till my next outing...

My night at the Guthrie and then some

It has been a long time since I found something fantastic to talk about. Last night I had the good fortune to be invited to The Guthrie to see M Butterfly. I have seen quite a few plays in my long existence but this was one would rate in my top 5.

The 2 main characters Randy Reyes and Andrew Long were spectacular. To think that any one person can remember all the lines to a play like this is incredible.

The topic of the play can of course be open to much discussion which I thinks stands the test of a good play.I dont want to go into details I would not want to ruin the experience for anybody that might be interested in going. Anybody that has any doubts, just go you will not be disappointed,

In addition to the play I had the opportunity to experience a little bit of Sea Change. There might be a recession going on but I am not sure the people dining at Sea Change were aware of the situation. I did not take part of the restaurant but I did have the opportunity to have drinks in the bar.

First let me say the coloration's in the bar are the best shades of blues and greens that I have ever seen. So relaxing, it is like sitting by a pool but without the water. The drinks do it justice just the right amount of choices not too many but just right.

Let me sum this up by saying it is a must go!

I hope my next post will be sooner rather then later...I would like to be able to say I'm back...It is Summer!!!
