• Took MCC to see Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo tonight as a combined Happy Birthday! and Thank You So Much For Taking Care of My House and Cats! gift.  It was wonderful, even if we couldn’t make heads nor tails of the underlying story!  Fortunately, you don’t have to “get it” to enjoy the fantastic acrobatics.  My favorite segments were (in order), (1) the combination trampoline/trapeze-without-a-trapeze segment where they just flung each other around three towers set over a lllloooonnnnnggggg skinny trampoline; (2) the aerial work by the man and woman who hung on a line (and on each other) as they twirled above the stage, and (3) the acrobatics inside hoops, which I actually can’t describe in words but which was *so* impressive.

  As we were driving back to her place so  I could drop her off, we were both thinking that this was the last time we’d be making the trek out to Mesquite before I could make the 25-minute drive home after dropping her off.  She moves on Wednesday and will be only a mile or so away – it’s going to be great!
