Menopause Out Loud.
Entertainment May 1st, 2008
We’re gearing up for the Pro Am competition this weekend and Calculus is retiring from full-time dental hygiene today. There’s been lots of stuff happening and not enough time to do it all within. That will change soon.
Calculus did manage to find some time to drag me out to Menopause Out Loud in Toronto on the weekend. It’s a musical comedy about women and the issues they experience with menopause. It was surprisingly funny and entertaining — even if I was one of maybe 5 men in the entire theatre.
The gender distribution was so skewed that when we approached the ticket-checker at the door, she said, “and how are you ladies doing?”.
I looked at her blankly. She looked back and blinked.
She said, “I mean lady and man.”
I smiled. She continued, “Don’t worry. There are other men in there too.”
As we walked by her I think I heard her chuckle.
Of course, our seats ended up being in the front row.

You’re a good husband. Hell will need to freeze over first before my wife can drag me into a show like that.

haha Rudy, you know what they say: You can spot a man with a big appendige when he can confidently walk into a show primarily patroned by women.
Peri: I second Rudy: You are a good husband. My Dad would join my Mum… but he’d fall asleep – not because of the show but he falls asleep when any watching has to be done.

Thanks you 2. I try to be a good husband because she’s a good wife.
Hell did, however, freeze over that day as Rudy says. That’s why my appendage wasn’t all that big.

Gee, I was impressed, that is until you mentioned the cold……

wouldn’t have expected anything less from you.
there’s nothing sexier than a man who’s in touch with his feminine side, comfortable in his own (manly) shoes, and stands above society’s close-mindedness.
