Grease and Grime

I noticed about the 13th this is the first March I have not gotten excited about spring since I was a little kid, and the first in many years I hadn't taken note of the first signs of spring. Then suddenly Wednesday I was standing outside and saw buds on the flowering pear tree and the lilac bush, and heard cardinals singing.

This weekend I will get see my nephew Ethan perform in Grease as Kinicky. The only reason I am familiar with the character was I watched the live TV event of this musical on January 30th. I tuned in primarily to see Carlos PenaVega (the Dancing with the Stars cutie and Columbia, MO native) play Kinicky. I related to his addiction recovery story, his ultra-cute marriage to Alexa PenaVega (of Nashville) but not necessarily his Christian conversion. In spite of his "moral" dilemma, he danced the hell out of his Magic Mike routine. I never got back to the DVR to finish watching the movie because I had another show (which shall remain nameless) Monday night and Tuesday we got the horrible news about Adam. I will now have a chance to see how it ends.

Pat has gone ham this week, brightening. lightening, whitening and tightening our old house. Thanks go out to him for that and his patience with me working through my ever changing mental state and heightened uptightness. Have some fun alone with Eli and I'll see you Sunday!
