I remember thinking when driving to Indianapolis how it was going to be the worst experience of my life. The problem was not going to spend Thanksgiving with my grandparents, but the fact that the next day on Friday 23, why were attending a family event to go see the “River dance,” at Murat Theatre. As we get closer to the time of the performance I remember thinking about all the jokes I made about the River dance and now I’m attending it.
