R.U.N.

You might think this post is about the race we're running in that happens tomorrow in Las Vegas what with the title or "R.U.N."  And while we are in Las Vegas and we are thinking about what we should be doing to prepare for the race we'll be running in tomorrow evening, that's not what the title of this post is about.

It is, instead, about a new Cirque show that opened only two weeks ago here.   It's styled as a graphic novel come to life.   It was definitely different than other Cirque shows I've seen before, but I liked it.  My husband did too, although I could have predicted his approval as soon as the motorcyclists came on stage and started doing stunts and tricks with their motorcycles.

The way the story was told was different and yet interesting.   There was one scene in which there was a car chase—with a real car on stage the entire scene.   Logistically it's hard to explain how they were able to manage this and have people clambering over and in the underway car not to mention those motorcycles coming back and getting in on the action as well.

Hopefully, this new show named "R.U.N" will do well.

The Big Boy Update:  My son and the dog played a game chasing a stick today for a good long while.   The dog was happy to have him to play with her.  Nana sent pictures of the two of them and the battle of the stick.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My daughter called me twice today about her audiobook.   We had to get it on her iPad and have her listen there now that the main book is over on her watch.  Or at least we'll have to do so until I get home and can move her next book onto the watch.
