April can be summed up in two words: Bon Jovi.

I'm sure there was more to the past 30 days, but nothing is coming to mind.

So I'll just say that I had a rockin' good time with these hard-working Jersey boys. They ripped through two-dozen songs, from their very first hit ("Runaway") to five tracks from their latest album ("The Circle.")

Actually, I did see "Smucker's Stars on Ice," starring Evan Lysacek and Sasha Cohen, among others. It seems so long ago, even though it's only been four weeks. I loved it! Sure, Evan only did one number ("Man in the Mirror," complete with a single silver glove) and came out for the finale. But, it was certainly worth it. The seats were great, and the price was right. (But the $20 parking was highway robbery!)

In May, I'm looking forward to the final live-in-HD performance of the Metropolitan Opera's 2009-2010 season. It's "Armida," starring soprano Renee Fleming. I'm excited! Also, my mom, sister and I are going to see "Spring Awakening." I always regretted missing the original Broadway cast, but I'm glad to be able to experience it before the tour ends.
