I’m marveling at the photos by Jeff Schultz, Official Iditarod Photographer, for his new project showcasing faces and audio clips – mushers, volunteers, spectators and dogs – who make the race what it is, with a bio of each one! He did a bunch pre-race and is adding as he follows the trail for the next 10 days.

Jim Gaffigan’s Fixer Upper Tour – Foxwoods Grand Theater orchestra row P!

8:45 PM
There was beverage service in our section! We got a couple of Cokes to combat the food coma. We listened to the warm up act – Ted Alexandro – for about 15 minutes. He was a low key chatter about life in NYC with a new (much younger) wife.

Jim Gaffigan came on about 7:20 pm and talked for 75 minutes. It was all new material with long sketches about horses, traveling with his kids, and not running the NYC marathon. We laughed and groaned where appropriate.

9:15 PM Sassy
I got to watch the rest of the Oscars!  Haven’t been around a TV to do that in years. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s duet at the piano was smoking hot, and I was excited to see Rami Malek win best actor! I usually don’t see many of the nominated movies but I got to Bohemian Rhapsody, The Favourite, and Black Panther.
