Well, Violetta's also got a much more lurid past than Mimi did. And hey, in Mimi's defense, you try singing bone-chilling coluratura with a case of consumption... Promise you won't be able to!
Thank you for your airport security story -- entertainment at its best!
I live spitting distance from Reagan National Airport. Sadly, it is NEVER a fun place.

1. Would it be correct to describe a person of cheerful mien as "gruntled"?
2. Would it not have been cool if Puccini had titled "La Boheme" as "The Sound of Mucous" instead?
3. Great Sports Headlines of our time: "Galloping Consumption Wins the Triple Crown"

This is SO my story of getting to Rhinebeck, except they were not nice, they did not use the back of thier hands, they were not sorry and the lead guy was disturbingly square-shaped.
Just so you know, whenever my asthmatic/melodramatic 7 year old starts coughing and emoting at the same time, I refer to her as La Traviata--not La Boheme.
I know this is not scientific, but from people's reactions I'm guessing either La Boheme is way more well known than La Traviata, or people are appalled that I am referring to my darling in this way.
