School Production

I went to my sons School Production last night. To use some thespian terminology it was the best of times and it was the worst of times.

The hard seats, cramped conditions ( they certainly stuff them in when there is a $10.00 cover charge), the lack of ventilation and subsequent aroma that permeates from a high number of people who do not care for their shoes by using a cedar shoe tree to remove odour let it down.

Actually there was possibly even the odd shoe that wasn’t leather.

This was then replaced and upgraded at regular intervals and included the Nokia 8110 and...
