Lazarus WTF?

We crossed the Thames on a pedestrian bridge and walked along the Victoria Embankment to Trafalgar Square as the sun set.

The British take Armistice Day very seriously. We observed a moment of silence while standing in line at the Eye and noticed red paper poppies everywhere. It's more than a little ironic that Brexit and growing nationalism in Europe and America may threaten the peaceful dividend the Western world has been enjoying for more than half a century.

Nearly 70,000 people were expected at Wembley Stadium for a World Cup playoff match between England and Scotland. Well-lubricated Scots rallied behind their team at Trafalgar Square.

Tom, an Olympic athlete, was definitely in his element.

I'm glad we encountered the fans before their eventual 3-0 loss.

Our route back to the hotel took us through the West End. We probably would have understood "The Entertainer" more easily than "Lazarus" later that evening.

That's Michael C. Hall (a.k.a Dexter) lying on the stage behind the three of us at the King's Cross Theater. Inexplicably, this production's serial killer was gay, although he did stop the show with a finger snappin' version of "Valentine's Day."
