What a Crowd!

Tonight Larry and I wanted to do something different for a change. We have gotten into the routine of watching TV together at night and wanted something a little more stimulating. I had seen an ad in the paper for a free lecture at the U of A by Christopher D. Impey on the Big Bang Theory. It sounded like fun. We headed over to campus, figuring a modest crowd would show up. We were wrong! The huge crowd was lined up for 3 blocks waiting to get in the doors of the Centenniel Hall auditorium. I'm sure at least 2,000 people squeezed in to hear the talk. At least half were senior citizens. What intellectual energy! His talk was well done and entertaining. He used humor to make the material as assessible as possible, showing clips from Monty Pyton to Jim Carey with Stephen Hawkin. Next week there is another lecture. Maybe we'll go again. It's kind of fun getting out to something besides Dollar Day at the movies.
