A Weird Day Plus an Epic Play

I woke up this morning feeling less sick than I did a couple days ago.  I only had one class to go to on campus and then I could do whatever I wanted.  All I did was go through my usual Friday routine of visiting my old middle school where my Mom works.  While I was visiting a friend of mine, she invited me to come to the Alhambra Dinner Theatre tonight for a show.  I didn't even know what was showing when I agreed to go.

I ended up spending about 5 hours eating, laughing and talking with three friends about whatever came to mind.  The play was "Lend Me A Tenor" starring Jamie Farr.

For those of you who might not know, Jamie Farr played Maxwell Klinger on the 1970's show M*A*S*H.  I practically grew up watching M*A*S*H.  He is as funny now as he was back then!

All I know is that it was an honor to see such a memorable and legendary actor in person....AND in a play in Jacksonville of all places!!

After the play, I went to the front podium to ask if it was possible to get his autograph...and HE DID IT!!!  He signed two programs for me!!  The young woman who went back and asked for me said that she caught him just as he was leaving!


My original plans for this Friday night was to go home and watch TV until I couldn't stay up any longer.  Instead I got:
a) A wonderful night out with some awesome ladies
b) To laughed incessantly at an awesomely funny play
and c) To see a legendary actor in person...

Oh yeah and don't forget the icing on the cake: Getting his autograph!!

So until next time, I bid you good night.  Oh and every now and then, be sure to throw your schedule out the window and be random every once in a while...you never know what might happen or what experiences you might have! ;)
