Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Nicky Sanders Save the World

My wife and I went to see Steve Martin and Martin Short in Baltimore . The duo is currently on a tour called, “You Won’t Believe What They Look Like Today!” The tour continues well into the Christmas season, and it looks like they are teaming up again next spring with another one. If you can make it to see them, you should. Here’s a list of where they’ll be.

There is no way to overstate how glad I am that we went. Our one regret lies in the fact that we dropped $42 on two drinks and a box of popcorn. It is what it is, and we’ve chosen to let this imprudent financial choice slide. Each time I overpay for concessions at events in the future, I hope it reminds me of this show.

To be sure, this afternoon will always be a cherished memory.

I think it’s worth noting that world events in the days just prior to the Martin and Short performance weighed on me. It’s been hard to ignore the state of world affairs. Russia is still attacking Ukraine. Israel is at war with Hamas, and perhaps in a ghost war with Iran and a few others.

Meanwhile, in the United States, it looks like we’re gearing up for a Presidential race where the GOP might be running a convicted felon and the Democrats will be running a candidate who has difficulty with multi-syllabic words.
