CultureBuddy on the DL

So CB Leslie is sporting a brand new knee. She was operated on Tuesday, August 5th and is working hard on her recovery. Our next trip to Broadway is scheduled for the middle of October so by then she should be racing all around Times Square- like usual. In the meantime, we are watching lots of NetFlix and catching up on our reading. Two shows I recommend on video are The Wire - all 5 seasons are great- and Season One of Damages. Leslie is immersed in Army Wives and a ton of shows she has saved on her TIVO. The CBs are enthusiastic followers of Project Runway and we loved last week's show where the assignment was to design an outfit for the women athletes to wear in the Olympics' Opening Ceremony. Some of the designers were amazingly clueless. One designer actually made a bonnet like Laura Ingalls Wilder wore and another designed a cocktail dress. For the Opening Ceremony. Huh??
It won't be long before CB Leslie is out and about again and we can report on culture beyond the inside of our houses.
