Do you ever wonder… where does time go… A few mornings ago as I was walking down Market St in the City…  I looked up and what I seen was an ad… and when I looked at it a memory came to my mind first….and then to my heart… so you say what makes this magic… well a few years this play  was playing in San Francisco… for the first time…and I was at a point in my life where I was struggling a bit… with life, extra money and all the things that go with that… my phone rang, and when I answered there was a voice on the line, a little voice saying…. Hi Dad, it’s me…James… my school has an outing to go see a play…and I want to know if you will go with me… since this was the first time my son invited me to do something that was very different… a play, “The Phantom Of The Opera”…not a movie or miniature golf…the last being one of our favorites…I said I would love to go… he said to me you have to buy 2 tickets…I said no problem… I mean how much can a ticket be…. he said to me we don’t need the good seats just the mid priced ones…. they are only 75. dollars…that was a week that I did not have much cash….but I said sure… the good news was I got the money…and went on a bus ride to see the play…It was fabulous….Time goes by and a few years later when James graduated from college I asked him what would he like to do… He said I would like to go to Las Vegas… so we pack a bag and off we went…. I know he wanted to do a little card playing and hangin’ out…. and of course we are in Vegas baby… the shows…. we went to the Beatles show “Love” we also saw the Blue Men Show……and last of all the Phantom of the Opera…. It just opened in Vegas…….this time I got great sits….and again it was a fabulous show….. and yes that’s what went though my mind and ended up in my heart when I saw the poster……
