CB and Friends

I just saw Dog Sees God, and it was good.  A tale of Charlie Brown, years later, in the turbulent war that is High School, CB's dog just got rabies, and all hell breaks loose.  

To say it was good is an understatement; it was funny, sad, dramatic, and it made me think.  If my hands were taken away, if my livelihood, my writing, were gone forever, what would I do?  In the play, a character takes his life.  I wonder what I would do, if the creativity, the urge to write, no longer had an outlet.  I could dictate, but there is something electric about the connection of pen and paper that I would miss terribly.  

It was hysterical too.  Great one liners, the awkward laughter resulting from situations we are all too familiar with.  And the best line of the night:  "You're a homo, Charlie Brown!"
