I’m putting it out there. Those who know me ― and even if you don’t ― should know that this time I will not miss Cirque du Soleil when it’s in town. Enough of just dropping hints.

So, this time I’m saying it clearly: ahem, Cirque du Soleil, people. Who’s taking me? I’ll be honest. I don’t even know what the theme of the show is. But does it really matter? It’s people flying and somersaulting and whatnot. In crazy, fantastical outfits. What more do you want?

I don’t even have a birthday or anniversary coming up. But my calendar does tell me that March 21 is former Mexican president Benito Juarez’s birthday. I think he would want me to go. But act fast, my generous benefactor, the show only runs till April 6.

Gratefully yours,
Emily
