Bully!

Last night Jean, nine close friends, and I, had a very enjoyable dinner/theater experience. We went to Murray, Kentucky, ate at the Big Apple Cafe, then went to see T.R. at the Playhouse in the Park. I believe a pleasurable time was had by all.

Jean's and my meal was very good. She had a grilled chicken salad, I had a burger and fries. We topped the meal off with a slice of Key Lime pie that was delicious! The rest of the bunch had Mexican cuisine and not a complaint was heard.

The Playhouse is a very short distance from the restaurant, where we got to see Pete Lancaster portray Theodore Roosevelt, or Teddy, as he liked to be called. The play dealt with his early years, up to the time right before his presidency, and brought back many schoolday memories of our 26th president. "Walk softly and carry a big stick", and the Rough Riders are just two stories that I remember from my youth, that I haven't thought of in a while.

Good friends....good food....good entertainment....life just does not get any better!

  1. Pete did an outstanding job working through newly written material - and provided a great deal of education from a personal side of those who really don'y know a lot about one of our finest and most progressive leaders that our country has ever produced. Bully, indeed!
