Help, help! I'm bein' repressed!

Weekend wrap-up:
Friday night: baseball, see previous post for pics

Saturday: slept in, left at 2pm for a performance of the Macaroni Family Circus in Middletown CT, an act in which my cousin Nathan plays a big role (Dr. Melvin the absent-minded circus doctor). Nathan and his buddies wowed the crowd with juggling, club passing, acrobatics/contortions, and a sick diablo act. It was a good show with amazingly skilled kids and well played humor (grabbing a "volunteer" from the audience for the club passing bit Dr. Melvin gave him a helmet with a dramatically delivered "this helmet is of course, ... for your protection").

We then bombed back to the city to get my mom to work, doing about 95 mph the whole way back. Also, we almost ran out of gas trying to get back home. It was very close, but we made it.

Sunday: We watched Miracle and then we watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail, def one of the top three comedies ever. I will be quoting that movie for a couple weeks. "He can leap about..., look at the bones!"

Maybe he was dictating,

My 5-year old cousin's favorite quotation is that one. He has no idea what it means but he says it all the time. His favorite movies are Monty Python. I really don't know what to expect for his future.
