The Jersey Boys

Yesterday I went to the local Clergy meeting at St. John's Lutheran Senior Life Center. We planned the "Week of Prayer for Christian Unity" service for this Sunday night. During the meeting I suggested the quartet from our chorus could sing and the clergy thought that would be a good idea. So they're now in the program. There was also a senior care person (Janice Rodgers) there from the local PACE program for elder care. She talked about the services they offer in Butler County. She also mentioned some new "talking pill boxes" that help people with their pills. Later I called her and talked with someone in her office. The lady in the office said she had heard about them, but wasn't sure they were actually on the market yet. However, she did mention some "pill dispensing systems" currently in use that involved the client filling the "machine" and then it would dispense the pills as needed. Sounded interesting. They were in the price range of $50 for set up, and then $40/month range. I thought it was interesting. Then, I went home and while Dee was at work I finished the window "file" project in the living room windows. And I watched the inauguration on television.

Later in the evening Russ and Kathy G. came by for dinner (Dee made lasagna, a nice crisp salad, and then a fancy dessert with blueberry ice cream.) Yummm. Afterward, we went to the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh and saw the show "Jersey Boys". It was a musical about the lives of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. The singing was awesome. The story line was actually a sad one. And the language was pretty bad. Despite the language, we really enjoyed the music as it was the music of our era growing up.
