My daughters (Jaedynn and Jozlynn) are making their musical theater debut this weekend. They have been cast in my school's production of You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. They play the part of Woodstock and his little birdies. The show is this Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm and also next Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm. If you would like tickets and directions please let me know and I'll get them to you. Tix are $8. Feel free to pass this info onto anyone.
Hope all is well. How many more days until Tahoe?

2 I feel sorry for the rest of the cast. Those two have enormous charm. I'm Charlie Brown, and I have to curtain call after them? Might as well bring out a barn animal.
3 Ah, good hearing from me old friend and confidant Kenny the P of the Size Three Knee. We are due for some debauching like, well, yesterday.
4 The reference to Tahoe, by the way, is acutally a reference to Mars. Don't be fooled.
5 I've always loved You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Such an awesome show with such great music. Add in Jaedynn and Jozlynn and you have pure joy. Here is the press release from the Merc News:
Independence High School's Performing Arts Center is proud to present "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown". The show opens on Friday, March 9th. Other show dates include: March 10th, 16th, and 17th.

8 We have a choir concert on Wednesday night, and a music concert on Thursday night, featuring our concert band, orchestra, symphonic band, and wind ensemble, who will be playing their set that they recently performed at Carnegie Hall. Both concerts are at 7 p.m.
9 Shows seem to be blooming everywhere I turn.
10 Probably a good idea to Yahoo Map the Indy address and make room on your calendar.
11 Moving on, Part One: The update on Grease is that we choreographed Summer Nights yesterday. I ran the sound, which kept screwing up and skipping at key moments.
12 It was fun watching the three-ring circus of choreography happen. You had the boys, the girls, and the ensemble all working at different times, but by around 5:30, they all nailed it. Good spirits everywhere.
13 Anytime choreography enters the picture, I take a back seat. I was good in a lot of things, but choreography was never one of them. I couldn't dance if Yosemite Sam shot at my feet.
14 Never could, even when I was young.
15 But it is fun watching students picking up terms like "step" "kick" "ball change" etc. Our boys did remarkably well for boys. Girls usually out-distance guys when it comes to choreography, but the boys did pretty well.
16 Quick studies. I even found myself tapping out the steps with my feet, but in a rather silent fashion. Nobody needs to see that.
17 Interestingly, during my seventh period class of seniors yesterday, one guy said that I made a hip-hop move during my lesson. I told him that you can take the East Side boy out of the East Side, but you can't take the East Side out of the boy. I'm an O.G. yo.
18 I then posed in my own badass style, which is embarrassment.
19 I threw bit of swag into the lesson. Not much, because just between you and me, I couldn't hip-hop if Lucifer poked me in the rear with a hot poker. That was an "eether", no and "eyether" by the way. I don't want to sound stuck-up.
20 Well, I went to sleep early and awakened in the four a.m. once more, so I may need to keep this one short as well.
21 I've been doing a bit too much multi-tasking lately, so the days get shorter and the time to get sleep quite slim. Last night went late, so I pretty much got home, had soup, and then hit the hay.
22 Sometimes I love not being young.
23 So I guess that's about it for this round. Go out and see a play or a concert this week. It will get your engines running a lot faster, and you will be supporting the arts.
24 Meanwhile, I have miles to go before I sleep, and I've no intention of running to do that.
