Sunday, for Mothers’ Day, we took mom to see Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo. It was an amazing production.

The story is, loosely, that of a clown looking back on his life after he dies. It’s actually very non-linear, with amazing physical feats interwoven with humorous set pieces. I can’t really effectively describe circus acts here – but aerial, tightrope, trampoline and more, this show had it all.

If the show is coming to your area, I highly recommend it.

The kids got me a new 8Gb iPod nano, which has been on my request list for some time, since my music library has hit 5 Gb and kept growing. Ben made me breakfast in bed and Zach went out to dinner with me – it was a good day.

Happy Mothers’ day to all mothers out there!
