Two Hours of Ballet

Mary & I saw the Nutcracker for the first time last weekend at the Lexington Opera House. We were glad we finally saw it but I doubt if I'll be going back any time soon. Strange plot. The dancing rats kind of freaked me out a bit. And my hands began to hurt from all the clapping required at the end as the entire cast continued to come forward, bow, and demand applause. I didn't want to keep clapping but felt the peer pressure to do so. Two hours? whew...

Well, at least there were no drunks shouting obscenities. . .

That would have made it more fun.

So it seems ballet is not your bag. Wait. I do remember a certain photo of you. I would give anything to have that photo right now.

You mean the one where Kay talked me into wearing her too-too? I think I know where that photo is.
