Joe was on the upswing last Sunday afternoon when we went to see How the Grinch Stole Christmas at the Minneapolis Children's Theater. It's on the short side, so it was just the thing, and our seats were in a row just four seats long, stage left, lower balcony. The bambini were on the edges of their seats. Joe was gripping the rail, and had his face pressed to it, his eyes peering up over it. Would the Grinch bring back Christmas?!?! The relief was visible when he did. After it was over, Julie waited with the bambini for the house to clear while Ted got the car, so that the bambini could check out the orchestra pit. Biride was full of questions for the usher tasked with making sure no one took pictures inside the theater or went up on the stage: how did the people get out of there [the orchestra pit]? Where were they now? What about the other people [the actors]? Where were they? Why did we need tickets? Brigade, we can only say this usher was A+ at her job. After the show, we drove home by way of the chain of lakes, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show house! And Fans, we discovered it's for sale! Julie posed in front of it and made a slightly embarrassed Ted take her picture like she was a tourist in want of a hat to toss in the air. You only go around once. The Grinch knew it, too.
