I'm sure you will totally appreciate Spamalot, in any case--you should definitely catch it. I'm sure it is coming to Toronto eventually. I just saw it in Boston, it's great. Great spoof of all that middle ages stuff along with modern show business, etc. You know what they say, those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, so now you know the past and you're totally up on the present too so you will know whether GWB & Co. are making the same mistakes as all those medieval people did. I know, it's a stretch, but I was trying to tie your interest in medieval history with your interest in the news and it isn't working very well.
