We have woken up in our little motel room before the sun is fully up in order to get to the Grand Canyon and still have time to make the most of this day. It is 8:30 a.m. and we have been on the road for a little over an hour, and J puts on "John Denver and the Muppets, a Christmas Together." He plays the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," which features a different muppet singing each verse, and he explains to me that he's going to do each voice, singing along in time with the song, and then, once the song is over, I should tell him which voice he does the best, and I ask him if maybe, just perhaps, it's too early for this?
