I have always wanted to see a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, so I jumped when discount tickets were offered through the Theater Development Fund for Pirates of Penzance at NY City Center.
It was great fun. Hal Linden of Barney Miller fame, played Major General Stanley and the stage direction was a delight.
I took my mother to the show. The tickets were for Saturday at 3 pm and there was a blizzard warning in effect. Intrepid city-dwellers that we are, we trekked into Manhattan anyway. Just in case, I brought Shannon to stay at my parents' house as it is a short walk from a subway station. My apartment requires that I drive to the nearest subway stop and I was afraid that the weather might prevent me from getting home. The snow was really coming down when the show let out and we were forced to walk through approximately 6 inches on the ground and frigid winds when we left the subway.
I got snowed in at my parents' until today. Have you ever been stuck somewhere for days without a change of clothes? I only planned on staying overnight so didn't bring nearly enough. We got about 16 inches all together and we only got my car out this morning. I'm thrilled to be home with my clothes and my food and my things.

I was absolutely positive that Hal Linden was dead. Wow.
