Pat and I went to see Amber's brother, Ashton, in CD East's school play tonight.... It was awesome! So many kids, and the play, and the singing.... just terrific!!!! Ashton's a natural... When he's on broadway someday, I'll get all my friends tickets!!!!! He's something else! He's a freshman, and had a pretty good role tonight. He can do it all: he sings, dances, and can act. This kid came to our house once, sat at our piano, and played songs all night. He never once had a formal piano lesson in his life. It made my jaw drop. Ashton and I sang together, while he played the piano, "Oh where oh where can my baby be, the Lord took her away from me....she's gone to heaven so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I leave this world...." I didn't want him to leave that night....
You know something, I cannot remember a single play that Steel High did while I was in high school. I hope I'm just having an Alzheimer's moment, and I truly hope we had school plays. Why in the world didn't we have any memorable school plays? My nephews HS, Wilson, had terrific plays too that we went to through the years: Fiddler on the Roof, Le Miserables .... but Steel High, I can't remember one single play! Someone tell me I'm wrong....please.
Oh well.... I think tonight, I'll dream that we had school plays, and that I was in them. I would never have wanted a leading role, oh nooooooo..... but I wouldn't have minded being in a play or two.... the drama queen I am..... (that's a joke!!!!)
Pat has his first baseball scrimmage tomorrow morning. He made Varsity this year, and he's pretty happy about that.... I'm happy for him; good kid. Now, if only he could say Varsity Baseball in fluent Spanish... Now that would reeeaaaalllllyyyyyyyy make me happy.
I'm 1/2 way through Da Vinci..... it's good..... I like it...... Good night.

I must say, i'm a little disappointed with the information concering "Amber's brother, Ashton," and how he's just SO wonderful. Why can there be blogs on the show-boy and not the, must i say, the FABULOUS sister that taught that show-boy everything he needs to know? hmmm... i think this a little game of favoritism? ;-)
Oh but Amber, everyone who reads this blog already knows all about you, and how wonderful you really are! :)
