We’re “almost” recovered from the trip, but Becky called to say that some people got sick after the ceremony, and two had COVID. I had a chest cough, so we worried I might have caught it. We believe that alcohol kills bugs, so we weren’t too concerned, but I still took a COVID test just to be sure. It came back negative, so we were relieved and could move on from the scare.
We toiled in the garden until it was time for our first big event – a date with the doctor. Can you believe it? We had appointments with Dr. Tong, the acupuncture magician. He’s the only one who can turn our garden-weary backs into iron rods and my sciatica into a distant memory.
We had tickets with Vicky and Jim to see Funny Girl at the Segerstrom, so we decided not to go home. We went to South Coast Plaza and met up with them at the Silver Trumpet.
It had wonderful food and excellent service!
The Silver Trumpet is within walking distance of the theater, so we zipped over to the Segerstrom, where we saw Funny Girl. The story is about the life of the 1930s comedienne Fannie Brice, from her early days in the Jewish slums of New York to the height of her career with the Ziegfeld Follies.
The performance was terrific.
After the show, we walked back to the restaurant, met up with Vicky, and then drove directly home. It was almost 11:00 p.m.
