Last night we had tickets to a theater here. Suffolk Theater, which was built in 1933, so it is before my time, but it looks like a Broadway theater, which we have been to more times than I would like to count.
The town I live in was settled in the 1600s so we have a few old things here besides me.
Many of the roads and towns are named after Indians, or Native Americans, even though here they call themselves Indians.
Anyway, the show was a single Italian girl, and she did a one-hour and fifteen-minute monologue about the way we old Italians grew up in New York. She was from Staten Island, where many Italians settled. My family settled in "Little Italy" here in Manhattan in about 1903.
It was a comedy, and she was very funny and a fantastic singer. Her last name is Guardino, and she was remarking about her uncle Harry Guardino, who was a fairly popular actor in the 60s/70s. (He starred in a WW11 movie named Pork Chop Hill) She put his picture up as part of her act. He is actually my cousin, so it was weird.
We went with 8 other people and before the show we ate at an Italian seafood restaurant. I had the Ahi Tuna.

It's a small world. You never know how many people you bump into could be somehow connected to you.
I remember watching movies with my dad that Harry Guardino performed in.
Looks like you all had a wonderful time!

My morning beach walk was not too exciting today as the only wildlife I saw was two dead seagulls. Disgusting. 
This is a very old beach that was formed by a glacier at the last ice age.
I can tell it's old because, today, I discovered the actual chain Noah used to tie up his ark as he came ashore looking for a store that sold mops. You know, with all those animals swaying back and forth on a not-so-sea-worthy boat while drinking sea water, he needed a lot of mops. 
It's a good thing he had the chain galvanized or it would have rotted out at least 20 years ago.

Finally cleaned the glass; pics of my gorgonians.

I did my beach walk this morning in the rain. They keep saying we have a drought even though it rains every day. I wonder what they would have called Noah's flood?
It was low tide and I picked up some red seaweed. It won't last longer in my tank because as soon as my urchin "sees" it, it's like an all you can eat salad bar. God Forbid he eats the 3" hair algae I have growing on the back glass.
Stupid creature
Of course, I am very afraid of Parasites so before I threw it in my tank I boiled it for one hour in lye. Then I let it sit in tree stump remover, formalin and prizapro for another hour. Then 74 days in a Quarantine tank where I use copper and TTM.
Then 2 hours of UV light sterilization and ozone injection. After that, it will be suited for my tank. (Or to serve with rice and beans)

Speaking of smoking it, My wife takes Medical Marijuana. She has MS along with all the pain, unsteadiness and everything else that goes into it. But you don't smoke medical marijuana. It comes in a liquid, powder or pills.
She used to get it with a prescription, but that place went out of business because now it is legal to buy so we go to the dispensary to get it.
You can't get high on it for a couple of reasons. First of all it is very expensive. Like $100.00 for a small bottles of pills so a cheap bottle of liquor would be a lot cheaper if that is what you are looking for.
Anyway, I am a terrible sleeper so I sometimes use some of her powder. In this new place she bought a small bottle of liquid with an eye dropper.
I said I want to try it because I take 5 things to sleep and generally wake up at 1:00 or 2:00 am.
So I was holding the bottle with the dropper and I said :How much of this stuff should I take?:
She said : Take two of those". I thought she meant two droppers full, but she meant two drops. So I took like 20 drops.
I went to sleep and woke up about 5:00 which is fine. I was very happy.
I stretched to get ready for my morning, beach walk and got out of bed.
I immediately fell on the floor and felt like I got hit by a bus after drinking a gallon of cheap wine on an empty stomach. What happened?
I know I didn't drink so I couldn't have a hangover. Then I remembered the marijuana. I very slowly clawed my way back into bed because I couldn't walk. Not even close, and I didn't want to crawl to the living room where my wife would find my partially dead, limp body which would give her a heart attack and she would call 911 while she pounded on my chest screaming for Jesus, Mary and Josephine.
I closed my eyes for an hour until my wife got up and I asked her what happened. That's when I found out I was supposed to take two drops and not two dropper fulls.
