For our Easter celebration we went to see the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus this evening.  It was the 7:30 pm and the last show in Madison Square garden, a full house with lots of little girls in pretty spring dresses.  The rigging was hauled away to be packed onto the truck at [...]

I took myself all the way up to Madison Square Garden to buy tickets to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus which we will attend on the evening of Easter Sunday.  I like to look at the map of the seats because I like to try and get seats on the front track. [...]
