London Day 1

I think I'm running out of steam
or at least that's how it seems
maybe watching the Changing of the Guards
will energize me to look at Buckingham Palace
or more of London's charms.

The House of Parliament
and Westminster Abby
get me to singing England Swings
or at least the first verse
which is the only verse I can remember
from Roger Miller's song.

"England swings like a pendulum do
Bobbies on bicycles, two by two
Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben
The rosy-red cheeks of the little children"

One of my favorite foods is fish and chips, all though when I was a child we called the chips french fries. I enjoy my fish with lemon and I'll try the chips with vinegar, ranch or blue cheese dressing and even salsa. In fact, I like anything on my chips except ketchup. I used to like catchup on my French fries or chips. When I graduated high school I realized that other things made the chips taste better. A few years ago I stopped using ketchup entirely and replaced it with mustard, ranch or blue cheese dressing or just about anything that isn't ketchup. It isn't that I don't like tomatoes, it's just that I find using different dips with my food is more creative.

Kinky Boots is my type of musical theater because it's based on a true story. The last time I saw live musical was at the Community College of Southern Nevada theater. Mom was still alive then and wen went to see Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
