What does Jumbo the Elephant have in common with an Off-Broadway show? The answer is that both were meant to entertain people in NYC.

When the day started, I had two things on the docket: Lunch with Maria, and Game night in Yonkers. There was one problem that would cause me problems today - I didn't go to sleep until 4 am. (I stayed up an extra 30 minutes to write yesterday's blog entry.) So I knew I'd need more sleep during the day to recharge my batteries.
Waking up (but not getting out of bed) around 7 am, I unsuccessfully tried to fall back to sleep for another 1-2 hours before getting up. Around 10:30, I got out of bed and started getting ready for the day. By 12:30, I was in Cold Spring and was on time to meet Maria. We talked about her family, including her new grandson, and issues she's been dealing with for a while. Of course, I had a bit to say as well. Sadly, she had to fetch her other grand kids at school, or we could have chatted longer.
Next, it was home to take a nap before going to game night. Around 5:00, I received a text to let me know that game night was cancelled for the night. Murder Mouth (their dog) didn't have a sitter for the evening, and he couldn't be trusted around people. If I had known this earlier, I could have made a 7:00 performance of Amazing Sex Life of Rabbits in NYC. Sadly, this was not the case, and I ended up doing a load of laundry instead.
Although I would have enjoyed seeing the play, I didn't feel like I had the energy to go into the city and back today. At least, there will be other plays I can see in the next 2 weeks.
