2. When I was a kid, we used to have roman candle fights.

But we did it out in the street, well away from any houses, shooting the roman candles down the street, parallel to the houses. There were never any injuries or damages to property. Maybe we were idiots, but we were ... well, just kids.

Princess Turandot, I guess you are a fan of the Puccini opera? So am I. Several other Puccini operas too, as well as those of quite a few other composers. The St. Louis Opera Theatre season would have just ended, in a normal year, and I really missed it. I hope I'll get to go to the Met some day, never have been.
