    Here’s a description of the show:

    Maria Maria is an award-winning pop musical based on the story of Mary Magdalene. You will be amazed at the voices & overpowered by the beauty of the score in this brand new musical! It’s an imaginative, beautiful tale of love & redemption, about Maria’s struggle to escape her fate when she makes a deal that could change her life. Performed in Korean with English supertitles.

    We’ve all heard that a certain level of alcohol consumption can be tolerated by your body, but it’s always been assumed that the less you drink, the better your health will be.

    Not so. A study at Harvard concluded that men who are moderate drinkers have a lower risk of heart attack. (Ladies, I’m sure the same applies for you as well.)

    Furthermore, according to research at the Australian National University, moderate drinking is associated with better thinking. That’s right, moderate drinkers have better cognitive skills than binge drinkers and NON-drinkers!

    Keep in mind that “moderate” is the operative word here. This means about 2 drinks a day for men and 1-2 drinks a day for women. And no, you’re not allowed to roll it all over and have 14 drinks on Saturday night.

    For a week I was cruising around on the Mediterranean, sometimes on pretty choppy water, yet I didn’t see a single person get seasick. I return home to New York City, and one of the first things I see is a man vomiting on the A train.

    I’m happy to get back to the grind, but boy oh boy, do I miss this:
    water
    this:
    santorini
    and this:
    sunset.
