Cheers, if I ever do a re-make of “The Great Escape,” I’ll consider casting you in the Steve McQueen role: “Cooler!”

Oh, and note: it’s bad form to holler at a ballet performance. One Mom, working stage crew for one and only one production, committed the sin of telling her daughter, “Go out and knock 'em dead! You’re better than all of them!” I’m aware that there are such things as competitive dance. This wasn’t one of them.

And, of course, her daughter wasn’t better than all of them. Had promise but was undisciplined. She wound up loving ballet…but Mom wouldn’t letter her continue an activity you couldn’t “win.”
