Yesterday was my 60th birthday. Josh had a swim meet in the morning, freestyle and butterfly – (he’s way more ambitious than I).

After lunch, he and Noah went for a sleepover at a friends house paving the way for Mom and Dad . . .

Chris and I set out for a more adult evening. Chiropractor, lunch in the valley (with drinks), Massage-Masters, Japanese restaurent (with drinks) and the highlight of the day was going to the Pantages theater in Hollywood to see “WICKED, the untold story of the witches of Oz” . Beautiful theater – beautiful sets – long show. Very impressive – truly a magnificent venue.

Hollywood Bowl Capitol Records
