Monday Moments

Date night - Saturday January 7. I bought Ray tickets as a Christmas treat to see Michael Carbonaro Live. Ray enjoyed watching Michael on his show The Carbonaro Effect, and would call me into the room, "You've gotta see this.".  I admit the young man was talented and clever, but I had not idea how the show would translate to a live theater - Dallas' Winspear.

We ended up with awesome box seats one level up from the orchestra center stage. The opening comic was quite funny, and then Michael came on and proceeded to enthrall us. Simple stage, a few props, quick timing, excellent patter, and many "how did he do that segments?" Plenty of audience participation and some of the kids he brought up on stage added to the hilarity. It was a clean family show.

My Monday moment of reflection - hearing Ray laugh, hearing everybody laugh at a clever bit - united as one. Everyone out in public to be entertained, enjoying a community of laughter.

Priceless....

    I've heard his shows are really good. He's a great illusionist.

      I like experiences, not just things, as a present. It worked out great

    I don't think I've heard of him yet. Glad you had a good time. You go out far too much - I'm jealous, and feel like I should do more with my time :-)

    Sounds like fun!

    I was kinda hoping your Cowboys would win yesterday, so they'd be facing our Falcons next weekend. I figured we could make some kinda fun wager on the game. :) Still, it was one heckuva game yesterday. Sorry the season has come to an end for your boys.
