Fiddler was the first play in Broadway series this year. After having such a great experience with our season tickets last year, we opted to keep our seats for another year. Being born in the 1970's, I grew up with Topol. I've seen the movie a zillion times and can sing along to every song. Getting the opportunity to see Fiddler with Topol was just incredible.

I’ve enjoyed Holcombe in concert too, but his performance yesterday was just amazing. Into the Dark Unknown was a mixage of performance art and an intimate concert. This top video was...
Read MoreLast Saturday, Smartwick and I had a great evening out. First we hit happy hour at Bernie's Southern Bistro (great happy hour!) and then we went to our favorite knitting instructor's book signing at Close Knit.
