Here’s Jack to remind us that winter doesn’t last forever, even if it feels like it does. ©voyager, all rights reserved
Today you get just the photo of Jack, no story. That’s because I’m off on a bus trip to the big city of Toronto to see the play, Anastasia. I’m going with my friend Jane who took me to Russia in 2017. We toured the royal palaces when we were in St. Petersburg and saw many original dresses and suits from the period, so we’re both looking forward to seeing the sets and costumes. We also visited the graves of the Romanov family, and we’re both pretty curious to see how the story of the Russian Revolution and the execution of the entire Romanov family are handled in musical theatre. I hope there aren’t too many dirges. Neither of us has seen the 20th Century Fox animated version of Anastasia, so we have no preconceived notions about what to expect.
I’ll let you know all about it tomorrow. In the meantime, Jack is home with his daddy, probably sitting in front of the fire and totally not contemplating political anarchy, revolution, nor the slaughter of an entire dynastic royal family.
The Romanovs were pretty mediocre people. They should have stuck them on a boat to the US -- they’ll take anyone white and rich…
FYI, the animated movie Anastasia was not Disney, it was Fox, co-directed and co-produced by Don Bluth.

Thanks. I meant to look that up but forgot. I just assumed that she had been cast as yet another Disney Princess. I’ve corrected the post to reflect the correct credit for the film, which my friend and I have decided to watch.
