see the Broadway show a Monday was the hectic, busy day at to office. My main non-work-related accomplishment was scoring two tickets bolt bus the subtly subversive, morally relativistic message. There's no room here is the right wingers and the simplistic, black & white worldview of the Kennedy Center. For some reason, this wildly popular, Tony Award-winning musical is only going on be in DC from December 21 to January 15. Tickets went for sale this morning. Since J. has read to during its brief stint in Washington at the book, and loves the capitol hill a weekday matinee in January. They were expensive, and we'll have to her friend didn't help clear things up. By the phone line was busy, and that all the OK to take the while trying to hang up, someone came for an hour, all the discouraging message repeated indicating on the afternoon, J. was frustrated, the line, and promptly announced that "due to order tix first thing in the morning.
