Kenny and I were in New Orleans this past weekend to see a production of White Christmas. Both sets of parents were able to come with us, so it was a very nice family outing.
The show was at Le Petit Theater in the Quarter, the oldest continually running community theater in the States (94 years!). I used to see shows at Le Petit fairly often a number of years back, but I hadn’t been in a long time. It’s such a cute little intimate theater, and the performance was fantastic. So good, in fact, that Le Petit is thinking of making it an annual tradition. Sounds good to me! And they didn’t cut any corners: the last scene was complete with “snow” falling over the audience!
It was even more fun because a high school classmate of mine played one of the lead roles. She currently lives in New York, has been on Broadway, and has come a long way since our days at Mount Carmel. She has an amazing talent, and I enjoyed watching her shine on stage with an incredible supporting cast. I even got to say hi to her after the show; you were great, Julie!
After the play the six of us went over to Muriel’s for a quick dinner before heading back home to watch the Saints game. Dinner was excellent as always, but the game unfortunately was not. The Black and Gold are now 13-1, thanks to Dallas playing an unbelievable game. We were never able to catch up to them after they got off to a very fast start.
I suppose this loss has been a long time coming, but that doesn’t make it any easier to digest. Perhaps it will provide the wake-up call the guys need to win out the rest of the regular season and head into playoffs focused and determined. Tampa Bay is up next at home this Sunday, and then we’ll just have to get by the Panthers in Charlotte on January 3. Come on, Saints; will this truly be our year?
