Fourth day in Florida.
Saw the squirrel again at 07:30.
Lunch and Pippin at SP, Hudson. Met האמא’s b’friend’s friendly fifty‐something son of the same name (Fb 100005821867059) who oddly enough reminded me a tiny bit of a (less‐attractive) D. Cassidy. The b’friend was so extraordinarily slow in walking to the buffet that a lady behind us commented thereon, trying to sound nice by offering to ask the staff to bring food to his table. He also had his hand on every customer’s table that he passed. I enjoyed the food and had plenty of meat plus a good amount of vegetables including their pickled beets. We were observing אחי’s and the b’friend’s son’s b’days, and so their names were announced by the gay half‐Jewish host before the show began. I had difficulty taking my eyes off hunky performer A. J. C., whose birthday it was, and later on, I came to find an attraction to title actor T’ton B. The play was very a much a product of its time, taking a medieval character and adding 1970s self‐reflection and questioning of his heroic fate. There was a woman in the audience literally dressed as a frumpy Wonder Woman, as well as a party of red hats. During one of the scenes, the actors were onstage talking and the audience was silent, but האמא was shouting in a supposedly private chat with her b’friend about K. Ripa and I’m sure everyone heard it. I tried unsuccessfully to kick her but she stopped at that point anyway. The b’friend hated the show, giving his knowing none of the songs as one of the reasons, and אחי said more than once that he liked 7B7B better.
At Denny’s, Bayonet Pt., I resisted significant pressure to order the omelet I’d had last time and instead ordered a bacon cheeseburger. האמא was speaking rather loudly at times, but we all had a pretty good conversation, except when she and her b’friend were being hypercritical of his son.
Back at בית האמא, she was shouting about, among other subjects, the strange men who request her friendship on Facebook. (“Delete!! Delete!! Delete!!”) I gave my neck a very loud and satisfying crack that drew attention, and her b’friend asked if I were all right. I get tired fairly early when in Florida, partly because I don’t have much opportunity to nap, so I retired to the guest room (to pack, watch television and eventually sleep) fairly early, and האמא’s b’friend didn’t stay ridiculously late like he had in November.
