So- my son had his big moment on Friday night. I thought I would tell you about it. First I must warn you that this is a REVISIONIST little red riding hood play- no blood and gore. This deeply disappointed Molly- who at one point said in a loud and testy voice "When is SOMEONE going to get eaten?". She also asked after each song "Is it OVER?" Almost all the 2nd graders were in this musical- most of them were in the chorus and sat below the stage. There were 4 of each major character- and oddly enough they would all appear together at the microphone to do their lines ensemble. Since it was bilingual they would do their song first in English and then in Spanish. There was one missing wolf so Pat only had two other wolves there- and there were 4 red riding hoods. Apparently one of the Spanish wolves had taken a vacation to Mexico. Eduardo was the wolves name. Oddly enough we rarely saw Pat since there was a very large hammy wolf who ALWAYS stood between Pat and the audience. Alas the hammy wolf did not know his lines- so Pat's disembodied voice seemed to be coming from this rather large uneducated wolf. The big Wolf didn't know the hand motions either- so every once in a while my son's arms would come swinging out on either side of the quiet wolf. It was really funny. The music was cute and granny and the wolf make friends at the end (to Molly's disgust)- and then they all sang the finale about how much they like each other now. I think I prefer the blood and guts little red riding hood myself.

Aw shucks..... The worst is when I have a major streak going and my sweetie comes in and says, "I'm sorry. I didn't know." Generally, I stare at the cards for a few minutes before I begin and then I play very quickly. Too much thinking as I play usually results in disaster. Sort of like when I get a really cool idea on how to improve my golf swing when I'm right in the middle of it. My basic strategy is "housekeeping" v. striving to move stuff up top. Alert me when you find a tough game. It would be fun to give it a try. Hmmmmmm.....maybe I'm not recovering as completely as I thought. Mike
