1776 Plays in the Park is Outstanding

Excellent Plays in the Park production of 1776.

We went last Wednesday nite to celebrate Eli's birthday. Happy birthday Eli!

It also happened to be opening night.

And frum night (one of 2) - all of us chapping it in before the 3 weeks.

Todd Renstermaker as South Carolina's Edward Rutledge.


Signing the Declaration.


Gabrielle Trumbull as Abigail Adams and David Cantor as John Adams.


It didn't occur to me to video until the play was almost over. So these clips are from towards the end. I'm actually sorry I didn't record much more!

Some stills ...

Happy Birthday Eli!

I googled intitle:coffee makers "blogspot" "post a comment".

and looked at some of the blogs the google search found, and, yup, others were also spammed.

What this has to do with coffee I have no idea.

BTW, don't bother looking for the link. I removed the comment.
