Five Presidents
Saturday, as a birthday gift from her, Lisa and I attended a performance of "Five Presidents" at the Milwaukee Rep.

Smiley as "Simon"
The review of the Stations of the Cross? Hmm, not good I'm afraid.
Smiley did well, carrying off the pivotal role of Simon with skill and emotional weight, but the rest of the cast was lackluster and divorced from the events they portrayed. Apparently Jesus falls only once, and then merely stumbles from that point on, and Mary didn't seem to care one bit about her son dying in front of her.
The costumes were good, and Smiley's photo is on the cover of the program, but beyond that I'd grade the whole thing a D-.
They ought to be grateful they are only 2nd graders, or it'd be a flat F ;)

Family Night
Plans for Family Night: BBQ chicken with a baked potato bar (salsa, sour cream, bacon bits, etc), followed by either a card game or door-to-door for Girl Scouts. Later, AI. Right now tho' Lisa is volunteering at YaYa's play practice for the 1st time, and I expect some rookie hazing. I give YaYa a 50/50 chance of NOT forcing Lisa to give her up for adoption.
By the way, I finally (!) found a new tank for the turtle, dang near a month after his old one shattered. It's as big as his old tank/smaller than his temp. digs, but he seems happy. Smiley and I found it at Goodwill for $5, and stopped to get Franklin a 'welcome home' meal of live crickets as a treat.
