Invitation & Back Fix

Tuesday, May. 12, 2009 - 1:43 a.m.

Monday's snailmail brought a surprise.

I received an invitation from Mrs. Schipper, my very first music teacher at middle school.

She's retiring. I had tracked her down about two years ago and asked if that was really her and was delighted when it was.

I've known her since I was eleven, and I would have to say of all the teachers I would encounter in seventh grade, my having been a full year younger than my peers, Mrs Schipper was probably the one whose coursework was the most helpful in bringing me out of my shell.

I was cast as Marian The Librarian in the 7th and 8th grade Choir/Theatre Arts Workshop production called "They're Finally Here", which features scenes from five musicals: The Music Man, My Fair Lady, South Pacific, Paint Your Wagon, and Hello Dolly.

The boy who was cast as Harold Hill was the same one I'd had a crush on throughout the year.

Lots of us went into the production as children, but when it was over, more than a few of us had grown up in a myriad of ways.

I've got some pictures of my eleven-turning-twelve self around here somewhere, in costume.

If I can track them down, I'll bring them with me to the celebration.

Hell to the YES, I'm going to be there. I wouldn't miss this for money.

John took Monday off to get his back fixed.

Last week in the rain, he had slipped on some stairs.

Not a big stumble bum ass over teakettle thing, but *just* enough to screw things up in a way that got progressively worse as the week went on.

Yuck. But he's better now.

---

Nothing else to report, at least not yet. But there will be.

Take care, and have a good Tuesday.
