No not really, but rather on a bus and I am going to West Point and the Culinary Institute of America on a senior LGBT tour.
It will be the first time I’ve taken a tour like this and I am looking forward to the trip on August 31st. The trip is sponsored by CT Prime Timers which is a senior gay men’s group but they opened the trip up to all LGBT seniors. Of course I will have my camera so expect to see photos of the trip.
On Friday I went to see a new play “The Sign of the Times” at the Terris Theater in Chester.
The Terris Theater is a small theater that holds around 200 people and Norma Terris established a fund to develop the careers of new actors and to promote musical theatre, so many new musicals and careers started at the theater. The theater is part of the Goodspeed Opera House.
Speaking of theaters, in the beginning of October I am going to New York City to see the Broadway play Beautiful: The Carole King Musical with my cousins. And then later in October I am going up to Provincetown for Fantasia Fair.
Also in October I am going to two banquets one for the Connecticut Women’s Education and Legal Fund (CWEALF) where I interned for my MSW and then the day before I head off for FF I am going to One Big Event the fund raiser for the Hartford Gay and Lesbian Health Collective where I volunteer two days a week.
In between I am doing a lot a training workshops including one at UConn in Storrs this week.

1965. The pulse of a changing era lures Cindy from Middle America to the swirl of Manhattan. Unexpected friends, lovers, careers and conflicts are all a subway ride away in a pop-fueled new musical featuring songs made famous by Petula Clark and other hit-makers of the day. "I Know a Place," "The Shoop Shoop Song" and "If I Can Dream" are among the fabulous favorites on an eye-opening ride from innocence to experience. Forget all your troubles, forget all your cares—go "Downtown" and find out who you are!It was a good play, I wouldn’t say great but it was very enjoyable and after the close when the actors came on stage for a bow they sang Downtown against and the audience joined in.
