Son, You'll Be a Star (or at least an Extra)

Max recently made his "off, off Broadway" theatrical debut in Morrisville Elementary's Track 4 First Graders' production of Little Red Riding Hood, The Musical.

Max played the role of "Tree 3". While you might say his performance was a little "stiff", he was very convincing. Of course, his main role was to serve as backdrop for the major players, but you should never underestimate the importance of the theatrical tradition of the Greek Chorus.

Out with the old...

I've lost 42 pounds since the first of the year (thanks SparkPeople!). My clothing situation has gotten pretty sad considering I've dropped 4 inches in my waist and 2 shirt sizes. So this weekend, I cleaned out the closet and the chest of drawers of all the clothes that no longer fit properly. It's pretty depressing to get rid of so many nice clothes (13 "Target" bags worth of clothes headed to Goodwill), but I'm really looking forward to re-populating the closet with some smaller sizes!
