Tonight was a birthday party for Karen and Petr. Petr did a performance in the "bowling house." He took the petrified opossum, which I thought was a dog and had candles attached to it. There were lots of candles because there are no lights in the bowling house. We watched the performance from the balcony of the gym. Things were put on pulleys and pulled toward us, usually with a candle on it. My favorite part was when Petr was on top of a 16 foot ladder with Christine wheeling him forward. He had a candle so you could see his face and he was wearing a mask to make him look like someone who was happy. He laughed an odd laugh as he was rolled toward us. It was as if he enjoyed it but it was also sinister. Hea hea hea hea. There were puppets made of dried kelp. One kelp was mounted on the end of a pole and used to blow out candles.
