Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I saw a review of him in Once; I so want to see it!
He was really terrific in it. As an adaptation of the film, the stage version is problematic, but on it's own it's gorgeous. I did love the way they arranged the songs for more voices. (And unlike that bizarre wretched Sweeney Todd from a few years back, this time it actually makes sense for the actors to carry their own instruments and play them onstage.)
If you missed the Tonys' opening number, and have any interest in musical theater, you should really watch it: [link]
I don't have real teevee, so I watched this am, and I cried. I think big opening numbers have the same effect on me as parades do.
I just watched it and cried a little, too. I'm not even much of a theater person!
What battery powered mower do you use Rick? I like my battery powered trimmer a lot and may look into battery mowers eventually.
I use a Black & Decker. Actually, I use two of them, because the one Amazon sent me had a crack in the housing, and they decided is was too expensive to arrange for me to return it. They just sent me a second one and let me keep the original. So one mower charges while I'm using the other one.
All of the major brands are currently transitioning to lithium batteries, which are much lighter, so if you can put it off for a while you will probably be happier with the product.
The co-writer of the opening number, Tom Kitt, went to college with me and is married to one of my classmates.

Good to know. We're thinking of getting one if we move. The new yard might be small enough to make it practical.

Well he did a great job! I just watched it again, and the whole spectacle makes me tear up, but the "everyone up here today, we WERE that kid, and now we're bigger" was very moving.

He really did.

That's awesome!

Seriously.
It was a busy weekend. Leif had three one and half hour soccer tryouts. Two of them were for the middle school team. Since he skipped a grade and isn't too far from the cut-off date, he was trying out with kids one and a half to three years older. That makes a huge difference at that age. Not to mention Leif is also small for his age. He didn't make the cut, but he played hard and didn't back down even though he looked like a little kid out there. We were pretty proud of him. They are going to let him practice with the team even though he didn't make it.
One more round of try-outs for teams a year older than his age to go. He has a place on a U12 team so at least there's no question of him being able to play.
He wants to play on the high school team, and we really need to get it through to him that physical skills aren't like academic skills. He thinks once he learns something, he doesn't need to keep practicing it because that's how it works for him academically.
