Bologna Forever

Grateful for:

1) My brother Rob, whose birthday it is today. It has been a dream living close to Uncle Rob (and Erin and Emily). He is soft-spoken yet strong, unassuming yet confident, funny yet serious. Oh, and he's also Rice on Bologna. : ) We love you, Rob!

2) Completely spontaneous singing of "Families Can Be Together Forever" and a group hug from the boys yesterday. That has never happened before.

3) I caught William before he could draw with a non-washable marker on his bedroom carpet for too long (and it mostly came out after much scrubbing--thank goodness). : )

4) Katie who not only lets William come over and play with Carson, but has a great listening ear.

5) How Can I Keep from Singing? (the song and the concept)

P.S. Anyone who wants to come see Ben's play, here's the info:

The 2010 Young Playwrights Festival 7pm on Monday, May 3rd. The evening is free and open to the public. Reserve your free tickets by calling the CENTERSTAGE box office at 410.332.0033.

You can find the info on all the plays here. (Note that the last two plays have some swearing and deal with racial issues, bullying, and/or peer pressure to smoke. I say, feel free to leave after Ben's play).
