GOOD MORNING, BREAKFAST CLUBBERS!

Good morning, breakfast clubbers! Jim surprised me with tickets to see Carol Burnett in "concert" at Rudder Auditorium at A&M in College Station last night. We drove over, had a leisurely dinner at Cheddars and went to the show then spent the night at the Holiday Inn. Thank you, darlin', for a great early anniversary gift. Carol was delightful....mostly she answered audience questions and talked about her career and herself; showed clips from some of the funniest and earliest shows she and Harvey,Tim, and Vicki had done. She admitted to being shy, and made the statement that she could not tell a joke to save her life. So she and her ensemble all call themselves comic "actors", rather than comedians (as in stand up comedian). Hence the "skit" format of her show. Well, it was the treat of my life....she's always been my favorite actress. The evening was relaxed and spontaneous and I will cherish the memories. ♥

  Dinny Lucas Your evening sounded wonderful! By the way, you walked right by the last office I had in Rudder on the first floor. Great place.

  Brownie Mackie Dinny, our waiter at Cheddars was an A&M freshman majoring most likely in civil engineering....sweet and well mannered young man named Kirt. He is a big football fan, so we congratulated him for being part of the big Alabama/A&M win! It was a wonderful evening.

  Brownie Mackie Hey...all my "Once Upon a Mattress" kids...let me hear from you. I have such hilariously funny memories of that show and the first "musical" we did from McCullough on a stage at Oak Ridge..."Jack and the Beanstalk".

  Dinny Lucas Was it still very noisy at Cheddars? I remember the noise and the good food.

  Brownie Mackie Yes, Jim kept adjusting his hearing aids, but we survived. It's always noisey in the chain restaurants....bad acoustics...sound isn't absorbed.
