the girl in front of me was watching a DVD on her computer.  it involved horses and cowboys, i think, and it was interesting to watch as the movie appeared in the window ahead of me.  cowboys riding along in the movie, as the bare fields passed by.  i took a lot of pictures, and none of them turned out that great, but i think you can get the idea with this one.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;wicked&#8221; is the best musical i\u2019ve ever seen, i think.  i keep trying to think of others i might have liked more, but i haven\u2019t come up with anything so far.  i want to see it again and again.  i\u2019d like to see it in new york, but i always wish for too much.  <\/p>\n<p>the run is allegedly going to be extended indefinitely in chicago, and it\u2019s coming to the fox theater in st. louis in november, so i know there will be opportunities to see it again.  a very good thing.<\/p>\n<p>aside from that, chicago was entirely too cold.  <\/p>\n<p>it really made me think about whether i want to spend another winter in the midwest.<\/p>\n<p>going up to chicago was like being in a time warp; suddenly it was winter all over again.  the temperatures were in the 40\u2019s, with the wind chill in the 30\u2019s.  it got slightly warmer, but only slightly.  <\/p>\n<p>i hate the cold.  <\/p>\n<p>ok, now i\u2019m going to be late for rehearsal.<\/p>\n<p>go see &#8220;wicked.&#8221;  and if for some strange reason you DON\u2019T love it, well, then i\u2019m afraid there\u2019s just no hope for you.<\/p>\n<p>ok then,<\/p>\n<p>grace glad to be here where it\u2019s warm and humid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>i have to be at rehearsal in 23 minutes, but i just wanted to put up this one photo. maybe i\u2019ll put up a few more when i get home tonight. this was taken on the train home from chicago last evening. let me just say that i love the train. i brought along all [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6JLYy-2A","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
