we didn’t lose the game; we just ran out of time. ~ vince lombardi

hometeam

detroit lions

played the new york jets

in a pre-season matchup

and i had the chance

to share the seats

with one of my grandies, (m)

at his first american football game

hooted

cheered

wore the colors

ate stadium food

jumped

roared

and in the end

we won

even though

it was a bit different

from his

aussie rules football

no shorts

but lots of pads

coney dogs and pizza

and

heaps of breaks in the action.

welcome to america.

always the cat remains a little beyond the limits we try to set for him in our blind folly. – andre norton

i have such a great assistant

nacho the cat not the food

takes his place

plops down

right in the middle

of the stones of lake superior

and

works hard

to help me

solve the puzzle

moving pieces

bumping my hand

meowing bright ideas

then it all just becomes a bit too exhausting

so why move

when you can just flop over

and blend in?

his work is done here.

just wondering

where the hatchet has gone

after finding the just the outline

where it used to hang

in the shed

of their new house?

what’s the story?

let’s see –

screwdriver

hammer

chisel

wrench

saw

hatchet?

still just wondering.

the essential is to excite the spectators. If that means playing hamlet on a flying trapeze or in an aquarium, you do it. – orson welles

‘l laughed, i cried, i peed.’ – b. k.

had such a great night in the park

enjoying live theater

picnic-ing and laughing

while watching

fellow wp blogger,

roy sexton (aka ‘officer lockstock’)

and his merry band of castmates

sing and dance their hearts out

in this fabulous and clever musical

Urinetown is a satirical comedy musical from 2001, with music by Mark Hollmann, lyrics by Hollmann and Greg Kotis, and book by Kotis. It makes fun of capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, and musical theatre itself.

‘We believe no one should pass up live theater due to its cost. We rely on donations–not ticket sales–to fund our seasons, so we can provide a first-rate live theater experience for the price of a movie ticket.’
