Spamalot



You may recall Mrs. T was, at best, a reluctant traveler to Spamalot, her mood not helped by having scratched her eye Saturday afternoon.

"Tell me again what this is about," she asked. Since I could see, and read in the dim light I read from the Playbill:



Followed by parts of the Who's Who, earning the evil eye.



Probably 40% of the audience hadn't a clue what they had walked into, most wondering what was with the hats.



Ten minutes in, the cast had them eating out of their hands. It was a marvelously enchanted evening. Mrs. T came around quickly, laughing at all the right parts, genuinely enjoying herself. Still she was hesitant when I suggested watching the last half of the movie when we got home. Many more thanks to daughter Katy and her hubby.

I swear this is true

Pinky swear. Honest to god, swear. It's a girl thing.

Along with the gift of land my daughter and her husband gave Mrs. T and I tickets to Spamalot.

This morning my bride asked what Spamalot was about.

I told her it was a takeoff of Monty Python and the Holy Grail,

and was met with a vacant stare.

I began at first principles. What Monty Python was. The search. Why the coconuts...

I then set her down with the video, which she claims to have never seen.

I have no idea what planet she was raised on. A friend told me it's the same at his house.

Gents, this is what happens when you marry a child bride.
