now I prove again that I can make life move again In the countdown to Christmas, last night was the first of several get-togethers for the family. Dalt was performing in the church's drama production, so we all headed over to Foothills Alliance Church to watch him sing and act in their presentation of "One Bethlehem Night". It was a musical, so it had several really good group songs and some short, funny ones too. I was pretty impressed that Dalt remembered his lines - he's known for mangling his words a bit, but he did a really great job.

After the show we all lingered to chat (or "fellowship", since it's church and all...) with Dalt and I told him how I was impressed with his performance. The director of the show stopped by for a minute and related a story from one of their morning performances (last night was their third show of the day!). You see, Dalt played Benjamin the fisherman, who had some song lines about being robbed of his money on the long journey to the inn and would "have to pay with fish!". It seems that he accidentally sang something about being robbed of his fish and instead had to switch the line to, "I'll have to pay with... THIS!" Since he had some little fake fishies in his hand that he held up for emphasis, it was no doubt a little confusing to the audience, but hey, he's an actor, and he was improvising...

Good show, Dalt.  | ¶ 12:19 a.m.
