Late posts lead to more late posts. This is how bad habits start, or return as in this case. I had two genuine Mohawk Valley Adventures yesterday, which is why I was too tired to post. Yes, I need more vitamins, vegetables, or exercise. Or maybe a vacation. AAaaahhhh… (pause for fantasy of sleeping in and doing nothing for days).
Be that as it may, yesterday afternoon I went with my friends Kelly and Jim to the matinee of The Savage Dilemma at Ilion Little Theatre. It was really funny. I not only laughed out loud at parts of it, I laughed out loud when I could tell a funny line was coming up. Alas, I did not get any pictures. Of course, we are forbidden to take pictures during performances by copyright laws and consideration for the actors. Still I could have gotten a couple pictures of them still in costume after the performance. Only I liked some of the Act I costumes best.
After the show, we went to The Alamo Bar and Grill in Poland, NY. They wanted to take me someplace I hadn’t been, or at least hadn’t been often. In fact, I had been there once for lunch a long time ago, so I was delighted to return. We enjoyed the decor, and the food even more. We shared loaded fries, which could have made us too full for our sandwiches. Kelly had Brisket, while I had a Classic Burger. Jim had a Slider Train, which included burgers with different stuffings.
None of my picture turned out very well.
All over were past-used tap tops (is there a better name for those things?). We speculated that some of them might be valuable antiques. We also liked the fake fish. At least, I’m sure some of them were fake. Some may have been real.
You can see more tap tops behind it.
I noticed a picture of an old stone fort. “What is that?” I asked, pointing, then immediately realized. “Oh, it’s the Alamo. Remember the Alamo?” I said it in a conversational tone, not like a war cry.
It was a very enjoyable afternoon and evening. The Savage Dilemma will be presented again next weekend at Ilion Little Theatre.. For more information, you can visit their website or Facebook page.
The Alamo Bar and Grill is located at 8773 S. Main St., Poland NY. You can also visit their Facebook page.
