Tonight a group of friends and I went to support a theatre family member who is part of her high school swing/show choir (and her beaming papa as well). I won’t delve too deeply on the performance, but will say that one of the songs deeply touched me. I know I have mentioned the beautiful […]

One of my not so graceful moments took place after a high school football game. My cousin and I were riding in the back of my brother’s pickup while my parents were in the front driving. While riding, I was wrapped up in the sousaphone that I played in the marching band. Why I had

I am not one for searching out a play and just reading if for the sake of reading it. Funny that… I love theatre, I am on a play-reading committee at my local theatre, but yet I find reading plays a chore. However, give me a script to memorize or audition for and…. ZAP… I’m

I am happy to say that my dad has returned home and no more scares unless he continues to be a terrible boy. Monday morning, he decided that he could resume his crossing guard duties at school in the freezing temperatures and snow flurries. I had a day to sleep in that morning and mom

Tonight saw the return of our semi-regular game night. I will not comment on the night itself but on one of the challenges I was asked to perform outside of the games. Somehow, we got off on the tangent of James Bond. I was asked to list all of the villains in the 21 (now

My dad got home from the hosptial this afternoon (HOORAY!!). I think Mom was getting annoyed driving the 45 minutes to see him sleep and mumble through the day. Yesterday, the doctor was concerned that Dad’s blood pressure was erratic (at times high at others low). Mom asked the doctor when he might be coming
