The Play's the Thing


Sunday, November 26, 2023
We have had so much American football the last few months, I felt that it was time for a totally different date with my bride.

Thus we headed over to Santa Paula for a lunch date.

If you want fine dining in
Santa Paula, this is the spot

It is in the old Mupu Grill building

A BBQ chicken salad for me and an Aloha burger for Laurie while watching some NFL football on The Draft's big screen TVs hit the spot.

OK, we couldn't just quit football cold turkey style.

A good after lunch caramel latte
at Rabalais' Bakery was a good call

Santa Paula has lots
of good murals like these

Santa Paula's Presbyterian Church
is quite photogenic

We didn't drive all the way out to Santa Paula just for the food, we had an artistic itch that needed scratching. 

Thus we headed to the
Santa Paula Theater Center

We've seen several plays at this wonderful community theater over the last few years and have always come away elated by our experiences there.

The Santa Paula Theater was
winding up their five play 2023 season

This was the comedy spoof of the
Alfred Hitchcock movie of the same
name that we wanted to see today

The theater's intimate setting with seats for only 95 patrons was packed.

We had seen this play twice over the years on the London stage and had thoroughly enjoyed its fast paced zaniness.

As usual, today's version was just as enjoyable, funny, entertaining and well crafted as we expected.

GREAT FUN!

While we were laughing in
Santa Paula, the Rams were
winning in the desert

The Rams are still in third place in the NFC West with a 5-6 record. At the start of the season, I honestly did not think that the Rams would win five games all season.

Only five remain out of the
133 NCAA FCS colleges

These last five 12-0 ball clubs standing are Florida State, Georgia, Liberty, Michigan and your Washington Huskies.

I've stated that the Huskies have been skating on thin ice in their last eight games but still, finding the grit and determination to win all of these close games is impressive.

Friday night's game between the
12-0 Huskies and 11-1 Oregon
may become an instant classic

This pretty much sums up
some of the best people I know
