Life In Pleasantville
Food, Travel, Life
I like my entertainment straight up. When I go to the ballet I expect I’ll see the ballet. A concert is a concert. A play is a play. This simplistic approach to entertainment is most likely why I sat scratching my head in true “What the heck?” fashion for the first 15 minutes of the …
