the cost of entertainment

last week we went to see the 'frost - nixon' play at the state theater in minneapolis. oh it's a majestic theater nicely reconditioned and filled with memories of movies i saw there as a teen ager. stacy keach was a very good nixon- but there was a little to much of the pose with peace signs on both hands saying i am not a crook. the tix are hella expensive- part of a season ticket package. anyway i fell a sleep about 20 minutes into the play and slept through it.
evelyn confirmed for me that the play didn't get any better- a lot about how much research and preparation work the frost staff did prior to the interview with nixon.
yawn
it is making me tired again. i could have gotten a select comfort bed at the nicollet island inn for the cost of our tix and had a vertical nap experience. oh well we have tix with friends and that makes the evening.

then last night i went to grandson's music class. he is 14 months-
about 7 kids with their parents and gosh it was fun
watching the kids play percussion, dance, feel the beat, try the tunes
it was so fun
a wonderful teacher and she just let the kids experience the music at their
age and experience level. i hope i can go again. by the way the cost was zilch
well kristina had to pay for the class but i paid zilch
and was never even tempted to yawn much less snooze.

being a grandparent is so cool and such a privlege. johan rules
