New Year, New York!

O-H-I-O

Hello again, Midwest.  It’s been awhile. I’ve returned from my adventures with the Missoula Children’s Theatre.  I did the math and I visited 20 states this summer – if you include our in-between travels – and worked with nearly 400 kids.  (I can’t be sure, but I think I sang “Friday’s Seaside Resort” a minimum…
