Nebraska/Colorado, then Cirque du Soleil

With Grandpa, we watched the Nebraska-Colorado football game [30-3, NU, an unexpected blowout] at the loft until 6:30 remained in the third quarter.

Then it was time to leave for the 4pm Cirque du Soleil in San Francisco. It was set up in a series of colorful tents not far from SBC Park.

A miniaturized woman—(what does a person say, "dwarf," or "midget," or something else?)—appeared, tethered to five largish helium balloons. There wasn't quite enough buoyancy for her to float to the ceiling, so the master of ceremonies gave her push over the crowd, who helpfully pushed on her stockinged feet so that she would float back to the stage.
