It's a Jolly Holiday here in NYC. We saw Mary Poppins last night and we've got Spelling Bee coming up. It's all going according to plan, with just a few small glitches.It normally takes us 8 hours to drive from Ottawa to New York. We were on that pace until we missed a turn and ended up wandering along Main Ave in Passaic, NJ, looking for the George Washington Bridge. We found the bridge, but it took 45 minutes to drive across it. I felt guilty because I saw a sign that said, "No Stopping On The Bridge".
This kind of minor delay was not a problem, because the show wasn't to start until 8pm. The real problem was a burglar alarm in the photo studio. We were supposed to meet some of my brother's friends for dinner, but an alarm had gone off at the studio where one of them worked, so things were thrown into minor disarray.In the end, everything worked out. We made it to the show, we got there on time, the show was pretty great, and the wind blew like crazy. Good kite-flying weather, I guess. Today we get to play in a basketball game in Harlem.
Everything is an adventure with Mary Poppins.

Your son is going to have a guilt complex knowing that he will be to blame when you can't go do all these wild things when he comes along. Make sure he knows he is LOVED anyway!!
Glad to hear that you made it okay even with the few glitches that happened. Our local high school is doing Les Miserables for two weekends and we heard that it is going well. Some kids in our ward have some major roles so we may go next Friday--that is as close to a Broadway production as we are going to get for a little while.
