What did you think of the ending?

***SOPRANOS SPOILER ALERT***

Well, last night was the series finale of Sopranos. Believe me, I was super excited. Which is always a bad thing because disappointment usually follows. I figured there was no way Tony was gonna get it in the end. That would be too easy and expected. There was only one whacking, Phil Leotardo. The way he was killed was disgusting and comical--only the way the Sopranos can do it! When there was about 20 mins left of the show I started to think that maybe things would be unresolved (my biggest fear for the finale). The final scene had my heart pounding. I thought for sure the Soprano family was gonna all get whacked in a little diner. The scene kept building up for it. And then ... it just ends. The screen goes black. I remember yelling out, What the H! (Or maybe I used a different word.) I just sat there wondering what the H happened. Then a few seconds later the credits come on. It ended without ending! Argh! I heard that many people called their cable company thinking the cable went out.
I was bummed and then I read Tim Goodman's column with the Chronicle. He says the ending was annoying and perfect. After I read the column and started to think about it more I realized the ending was quite brilliant. But I still like to have questions answered. I am the type who needs closure. But what are ya gonna do?


Magic show and dinner

Part of the old Tucson High gang back together: Ann, Ilysha and Edwin.

An old high school friend (Ilysha) and her husband, Eric, were in town for the weekend. Eric is a magician and had 2 shows at a dinner theater in Martinez (about a 30 min. drive from our house). Martinez is small and cute. And it was way warmer than the city or East Bay.

Eric performed at the California Magic Dinner Theater. The magic was pretty cool. I am still in awe. And Eric is also a comedian. His show was hilarious. At times I was crying.

My old buddy, Edwin, also came to the show with his girlfriend, Denise. I have known Edwin since 5th grade. He lives in the city. (He didn't know I lived in the Bay Area--my bad. I told him we have to get together again.)
We had a delicious dinner. Man, it was so good! While eating different guys come around and did some magic for us. It is crazy how they do it and I have no idea how!
Eric's show was amazing, hilarious and a lot of fun. After the show he hung out with us for a bit. Then the 5 of us (minus Eric) found a bar to have another drink before the night ended.
It was so great to see Lysh and Edwin. We reminisced about Tucson and Tucson High. It was a lot of fun. Can't wait to see them again.

Garden

Our garden is growing! We ate our first radishes and one lowly onion. I need to take more pics of the progress. But here is one of Curt with our first veggies.
