It’s 11:30 PM, Saturday night, and I am at the downtown Dayton bus terminal. It’s been 12 hours since I boarded northbound No. 17 in front of my house en route for Schuster Center. 

THE LION KING is a sensational product. I do not tire from listening to the music, tonight being my fifth performance. I am looking forward to returning on Tuesday for six more performances.

Each time, one of my sons’ adoptions was finalized, we attended a professional production of a musical. For the finalization of my fourth son’s adoption, we attended the first touring production of THE LION KING at Schuster Center. it has been rather nice to revisit this production.

I can relax a little bit on Sunday, but I would like to mow the yard before I begin teaching. I’m sure the pooches will love having dad at home for the next two days without interruption.
