The Circle of Life

At the moment, my daughter is very into a few things; in particular: Her cute camp counselor, puzzles and The Lion King. And I have to say, there are only so many times that you can hear "Circle of Life" without reflecting on it's meaning just a bit. It's the Circle of Life And it moves us all. ...

A handful of things

1. I had my MRI/MRA yesterday. It was less scary than I had expected (though I don't yet know the results because in order to view the disk with my images I would need a PC and also probably a medical degree). However... As we headed back for my test, my heart racing, my stomach turning, ...

“Tell me more, Tell me more.”

I can't believe that it has been four and a half years, almost to the day, since I wrote this silly little post about my sister and the musical Grease. She had sent me the cutest text message and so, because I kept this as an online diary of my life, I blogged it. And I can't ...

Fox & the Hounds and the time of my life. And, a video!

Several years ago, I wrote a post specifically about my love of and history with music; But, in truth, music has infiltrated almost every space of this site.

She is partial to the middle tracks, but today I thought we should listen to the beginning. We listened to the beautiful chorus of "Seasons of Love" ...

The greatest things.

Today, I experienced two of the greatest things. First, I saw this: (image via) and it was like all of the stars aligned into the world's most extraordinary moment. Nothing so perfect could actually exist, surely. My mom and I watched the Les Miz Flash Mob from last night's episode of "It's a Brad Brad World" with our ...

Hooray!

For pretty Summer days, For pretty gold toe-nail polish, For pretty rad outdoor dance parties to tunes from Rent, For pretty much everything about my pretty little dance partner.

peak-a-boo, i’ll-cover-you

Two years ago, today, I saw Rent, in it's final week on Broadway. One year ago, today, I danced with The Tribe at Hair. Today, I spent the morning playing peak-a-boo with my 4 1/2 month old, over and over and over, again. I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love, Now I know you can rent it, A new ...
