I feel that when Hannah (my amazing 16 year old friend) visits us each summer... Even though she has a cell phone and email and all that fancy techno stuff, we can STILL bond over affairs-of-the-heart, the mean-ness of certain other girls, self-esteem and zits!! Even more amazing is the fact that she is generous enough to share the details of her life with boring old me...<BR/><BR/>I'll be thinking of you tomorrow night... And, take heart about the soprano. I worked a "Carmen" a few years back where Carmen nursed accute bronchitis, yet managed to belt it out every. single. night (and three matinees, too). SHE was a piece of work, let me tell you...

Hubby asked the boy why he was walking home so late (6:00ish) and the boy said he had football practice that night. My hubby told the boy he graduated from the same high school and played football too. The kid asked when and hubby said he graduated in 1989. The boy looked stunned and said, "That's the year I was born!" Great.<BR/>Good luck on opening night!
