February 5

Yesterday's adventure into the city was fun. It was very cold out and our walk to the theater from the train station took longer than it should because we passed our street the first time around-we were talking about finding a Starbucks-I pointed at one, but my daughter said "not that one." So we kept walking never looking at the street names. Needless to say at 5 degrees it was very cold I was numb from the waist down when we finally found our theater. Don't you love adventures?

Lunch was great. The musical was a whole lot of fun and worth all the discomfort. Now today I have frost bite on my face from walking in the icy air-even with a scarf. I suppose I am a hothouse flower. Next time I'll put Vaseline on my skin before I go out.

February 4 -show time

Today I'm braving the sub zero temperatures and taking the train into town. We have tickets to a matinee of Jersey Boys. It's a musical based on Frankie Valle. I'm excited and have much to do before we go-like bundle up in so many layers I'll look like a snow man-but at least I won't have frostbite walking. Oh, I know I can always take a taxi but the theater is only five blocks from the train station and they are predicting a high of 15 degrees. I can walk that-with the right amount of cold weather gear.
