Saw Blue Man Group for the first time since….2006? Anyway, it’s been a while.  They’ve changed up the show quite a bit but still included some of my favorite bits.  It was an incredibly fantastic performance.  So much fun.

It seems that when this princess kissed the frog, she herself was turned into a frog.   I guess that’s what happens when you wear far too much lipstick, so let that be a lesson to you.

I spotted this sign and thought it was cute, but then I noticed the bit of writing at the bottom, and decided it was also funny.  And very inclusive. Except for vegetarians, I guess…

This is Archie.  He came to a BBQ at Bob and Kat’s.  He seems quite content here, with his head on his mama’s lap.  Good boy.

The restaurants along Moody St in Waltham are putting out their outdoor seating.  Unfortunately, it will remain open to vehicles all summer.  Last year they closed it on the weekend, and 2 years ago, it was closed all summer.

Had my tutoring session this morning at the shady side of the library, where I’ve never explored before.  It was a lovely place to sit, and I enjoyed seeing Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore. They were created by Nancy Schon, who also made the “Make Way for Ducklings” sculptures in the Boston Public Garden.  Thanks, Nancy!

I’m not sure what kind of flowers this will be, though an image search suggests they are peonies.  Whatever they are, I suspect they are going to be just gorgeous.

The next door neighbors’ tree is snowing petals all over the sidewalk.

OK, it’s not a good picture, but it’s almost impossible to get good pictures of anything from the audience at any kind of performance.  The point is,  Doug and I went to see improv geniuses Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie from “Whose Line is it Anyway?”  And it was freakin’ hilarious.

I often make fun of the people of Newton for getting all riled up about really stupid things (a few years ago, Tshirts that said “I went to so-and-so’s bar mitzvah” were banned because other kids would feel bad.)  But…the West Newton Cinema property is an icon, and it’s been sold.  It’s been around since 1938, and operated independently since 1978.  Which is saying something, given the abundance of huge multiplexes.  However, the new owner stated that if a non-profit formed and raised enough money,  he will sell it back.
