Too late and too tired

What a busy day this was!
I had won tickets from KSGF to go and see the Tony Orlando Christmas show in Branson and today was the day.
B had taken off work but decided he'd like some quiet time with his laptop at a wifi spot so Z and I went to see the show.
I liked parts of it and others I was just bored.
I'll try and talk more about it tomorrow.
Let me just say this, the memory of 'knock 3 times' from when I was really young was much better than the reality of hearing it today. Maybe some things need to stay nice memories?
The Lenin Sisters were also on the program and they were fun but really the whole thing was aimed more for someone 20 years older than me I think.

We did eat at the Hard Luck Diner on 76 and that was a lot of fun. The waiters take turns singing with a mike going up and down the aisles between serving the food. One girl came and sang part of 2 songs to Z and boy did he turn red and get embarassed! The 2nd time she commented on it over the mike! It was great fun and the food was pretty good, we got a lot for what we paid.
We rushed back home to see my friend Patrick Mureithi's film being shown at the Gillioz Theater and it is so amazing. It is called ICYIZERE: hope. It is a documentary about 'healing and rebuilding lives after genocide' that he shot on location in Rwanda. The final version of his film is supposed to be finished in the spring and will be shown at the Plaster Student Union theatre at MSU(Missouri State University) in April. You have to go see this!
Patrick has been appointed as dual Artist in Residence at MSU and Drury University. He is one amazing man whose insight and gentle spirit amaze me.

I've got to get to bed. I'm taking Z for a homeschool horse riding lesson in the morning!
