Corey... did you really mean to follow up an observation of G-I issues with the sentence starting, "Hopefully they'll pass..."?
Sorry...sorry...hehehe...it caught the funny bone of my eye :-)
This weekend I took all the boys to see these guys. I've always wanted to see them live, although I it turns out that my memory is mixed up. The Karamozovs had done Shakespeare on TV and I distinctly remembered watching it when I was in high school. However, the program from Saturday's show gave the year as 1987, which is after I'd already graduated and heck, Chris was one year old.
Which brought to mind the movie Memento, which Rob and I rented last week. I really liked how it unwound itself, presenting just enough at a time for a new question to formulate in one's brain before the next bit unfolded and inspired new questions.
Looking at the date of the actual TV presentation in the program, I suddenly saw myself in the house we had in 1987, watching the performance...instead of seeing myself in the home I grew up in watching it. Which version is right? Which memory is correct? Obviously, since the TV show date can be determined with some accuracy, it's my memory of watching the show while in high school that's incorrect. I wonder why I remembered it the wrong way? Or had they done more than one TV presentation of a Shakespeare play and listed only the 1987 performance in the program? I noticed they left out their involvement in the film "The Jewel of the Nile" as well.
At any rate, it was a fun show! They sing! They dance! You haven't lived until you've seen the Polish Appalachian Coal Miners' Clogging!
And as we left the theater, snow fell and it felt like Christmas.
