Jazz hands, step clap, step ball change, and shuffle off to Buffalo.


I’d really like to perform this for you because, for one thing, Swan Lake is too difficult. Thank you, Natalie Portman, for getting up a young dreamer’s hopes. But more importantly, as a veteran of high school theater and casual follower of Glee, I know that a good ol’ song and dance number is always a nice distraction. In any case, no updates came in this month.


I know that means you are out and busy, doing your thing, so keep on keeping on and drop a line when you can, especially since we don’t want another repeat of the amateur hour.


Take care and I hope you are having a wonderful beginning to the New Year.


Cheers.
