Sneaky

My mom was in New York last week for a merchandise show, as she is twice a year. She likes to catch Broadway shows when she can, and if she can get a good deal on tickets, when she's in the Big Apple. A few years ago, she saw The Producers with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick for $100, a ticket that she scalped from some guy on the street (and she refused to pay more than face value, thank you very much). Last week, she went to check out Wicked, and found that tickets were $250 and up. So, she decided not to go. What she did do, however, was sneak into Mamma Mia. Not her first choice, but the theater was easier to sneak into. When the ushers busted her, and she admitted to not having a ticket, they escorted her to a seat where she watched the end of the first act and all of the second. I guess when there's a well-dressed 62-year-old lady sneaking in, you can't do much else, can you?

She's 92...

My grandma's heart

My grandma has congestive heart failure. Granted, she's 92, but she's always been in excellent health. No one called to tell me, and she was in the hospital Monday and Tuesday. I guess it can be treated, and she'll probably be fine (other old-age notwithstanding), but it's making me sad. I love my grandma a whole lot, and I'm not ready. I want her to see me get married to the boy that she keeps threatening to steal from me she likes him so much.
