There are things to do in Evansville

One of my New Year's resolutions is to stop saying there is nothing to do in Evansville and actually participate in the things there are to do around here. In the past, this has been a hard thing because I never could find anyone to go with - either other people were not interested or they didn't have any money (people here are always broke, which I don't understand, but that is another rant and rave for a future post).

Today I went to the university's Martin Luther King Jr. luncheon. There was a keynote speaker, an interpretative ballet dance on Rosa Parks, the Culver Elementary Drumline (which was cool to see since I always heard them practicing when I went to Culver to lead my Girl Scout troop), and a step dance routine.

The food was made by the university's food service so it wasn't all that good but the program was really good. I sat with a group from the university's career services office. One of the guys at the table thought that the hot sauce was French dressing and poured it on his salad! He still ate his salad!

There is a Russian Ballet presentation of Sleeping Beauty on Tuesday and a Harlem Globetrotters event on two Fridays from now but I am on call for this week and next (gosh darn job ruining my life! LOL)
