ASH Report - Day 9

I really don't know what else to call these things anymore.  The ash isn't prohibiting us from flying.  Anyway, until I actually touch down on American soil again, I don't think I can call them anything else!  =)

There is a huge perk to me being stranded here in London for an extra week thanks to Iceland.  Holding the Man, the play opened tonight here in the West End.  It's a limited 10 week run.  When I saw the ads, I thought I would have to take a quick weekend trip over just to see the play, but then a volcano intervened and changed that.  I loved the book Holding the Man by Timothy Conigrave.  It made me laugh and it made me cry.  I was excited that a play was made out of it.  A friend saw it in Australia and got me hooked on the book. 

Thanks Iceland and the Ash Cloud - I got to see an amazing piece of work that made me laugh, and made me cry and moved me in so many ways.
