Anyway. . . just returned from a fantastic evening with Dave. We ate at the Watergate restaurant and were able to eat outside since it has FINALLY STOPPED RAINING!!!!!! And it was pretty mild. I had the most fantastic vegetarian (which I'm technically not) Indian dish. YUMMERS! I didn't feel too bad, Weight Watchers points-wise since I had actually gotten my carcass out of my jammies this morning and went to the South Run Rec Center where I spent a glorious hour in the pool. I just swam back and forth in various ways for almost an hour. Minus about 5 minutes in the hot tub. Which I thought I would spend longer in. But I swam about 40 minutes and then got in and it was too hot and what I really wanted to do was keep swimming. So that should have earned me a couple of extra points for a fantastic Indian meal. . . . . . and a glass of wine.
But really, the piece de resistance (no pun intended, get it? Resistance? Les Miz?) was watching Les Miserables tonight at the Kennedy Center. I had seen it many years ago. I may have seen it twice during the past 25 years. But Dave was a LM virgin. We were in Row H so were barely out of the range of the people spitting from the stage as they sang. Wow! That show is so unbelievable. The man who sang the role of Jean Valjean has performed the play more than 2900 times!!! YIKES! And here's a cool thing. I went to the ladies room during intermission and almost ran smack into Senator John Kerry (well, he was not in the ladies room, but in the aisle). I came back to tell Dave about it and we turned around and the Kerry's were sitting about 4 rows behind us. Not only did we see them, but we had better seats than they did!!!!! I love that!
Luckily I had downloaded the 10th anniversary concert edition of Les Miz on my IPhone last week, so I can listen to it all the way home tomorrow. I am definitely not MISERABLES!!!!!!
