Our seats were pretty good. but because of their use of a video screen we could not see the very top of it, since we were up so high. and at the end that was important since they froze Nixon's face on the screen. we tried to get a good view of it, but just could not see the top. I'll tell him about reviewing it for you! well, I still wish I would have done the unit study, but I honestly don’t know how we could have gotten it done in that time period…lots of clean up work, no electricity (no internet), no library, etc…so I guess I have to let it go…

And it is kind of like homeschooling too, only moving it to a different level of relationship. It might feel like a wasted opportunity now, but maybe after you see the show together it will seem a little different too. I hope ya'll have fun! And tell him if he wants, I will be happy to post his review of the play on my blog. I don't pay as good as his newspaper gig, but still.... I bet you will both have lots of fun at the play together.
