Laugh when you can,
Apologize when you should,
And let go of what you can't change.

Ragtime

Molly and I went to see Ragtime at the Kennedy Center tonight. This wasn't on my top list of shows to see but I thought it would be interesting. It follows 3 families in New York at the beginning of the 20th century.

For me, it was just ok. Following 3 separate families didn't allow a very deep connection with any individual character. I think perhaps the point was more to give a broad view of the time period and it definitely did that. But I didn't feel anything. For me, the theater should leave me with something more than, "oh, that was a lovely view of the early 1900s." I can watch a documentary or read a history book for that.
