Pricilla

Together we will go our way, together we will leave some day.

Together your hand in my hand, together we will make the plans.

Together we will fly so high, together tell our friends goodbye.

Together we will start life new, together this is what we'll do.

Go west, life is peaceful there.

Go west, lots of open air.

Go west to begin life new.

Go west, this is what we'll do.

Go west, sun in winter time.

Go west, we will do just fine.

Go wes t where the skies are blue.

Go west, this and more we'll do.

Together we will love the beach, together we will learn and teach.

Together change our pace of life, together we will work and strive.

I love you, I know you love me; I want you happy and carefree.

So that's why I have no protest when you say you want to go west.

Go west, life is peaceful there.

Go west, lots of open air.

Go west to begin life new.

Go west, this is what we'll do.

Go west, sun in winter time.

Go west, we will do just fine.

Go west where the skies are blue.

Go west, this and more we'll do.

I know that there are many ways to live there in the sun or shade.

Together we will find a place to settle down and live with the space

without the busy pace back east, the hustling, rustling of the feet,

I know I'm ready to leave too, so this is what we're going to do,

Go west, life is peaceful there.

Go west, lots of open air.

Go west to begin life new.

Go west, this is what we'll do.

Go west, sun in winter time.

Go west, we will do just fine.

Go west where the skies are blue.

Go west, this and more we'll do.

Pricilla Queen of the Desert is playing at the Princess of Wales and Merv and I attended on Friday night as part of our Mirvish subscription package. It is a laugh-out-loud, feel good production. Pure fun. I had heard that the audience for Pricilla was as crazy as the show with a spectacle of cross-dressing queens but I saw nothing but a lot of dull, mostly middle aged theatre goers on Friday night. Pricilla is on until November 28 and is worth the price of a ticket if you are just looking for some fun. Be forewarned, the show is for mature audiences.

It was a good way to inject some relaxation into an otherwise hectic week that included taking my mom for her quarterly gynecology appointment as well as working with Nan to get ready for and set up the Fall Fair at mom's nursing home. As usual it was chaos and I left at the end of the sale yesterday feeling exhausted.

Today I will make a short visit to my mom, who is suffering from a bad cold and has been confined to her room. Her unit is on lockdown following a respiratory outbreak. I will bring some melon and try to make some connection but I'm not hopeful that I will be able to engage her very much today. She didn't lift her head at all when I saw her yesterday and she was oblivious to my presence. When I finish at mom's I will head over to a friend's surprise 64th birthday party. His wife believes he hasn't got a clue and I hope she is right.
