15 thoughts on seeing "Clue" at CIBC Theatre

I got to see this play on Sunday, February 23rd!

  1. Overall, a jolly good time
  2. Even though we had seats at the very back of the balcony, by leaning forward I still saw most of the play
  3. I loved that the floor of the manor reminded me of the board game
  4. It was also fun when Colonel Mustard pulled out a "blueprint" of the manor and it was the board game board
  5. Solid musical and lighting stings that made us laugh but also highlighted key clues
  6. Mr. Green was the stand-out actor for me (not that anyone was bad, but he had some serious acrobatics)
  7. I didn't really enjoy Wadsworth's/Boddy's extended death (just didn't work for me)
  8. Where was talking about communism as a red herring?
  9. How the set worked was truly impressive and is something that will stay with me in my memory of it
  10. I appreciated the swing that they took with the dancing sequences during the searching of the manor, but it didn't always work for me
  11. The series of punny names for the chief of police got me good
  12. The goofy running sequences really captured the spirit of the original movie for me
  13. I didn't get a playbill and that makes me sad
  14. I want to rewatch the original movie
  15. I still want to stage my own version of this story

When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...

15 things you'll think about during your dad's latest hospital stay

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...
