Random remarks

I baked those Whole Wheat Apple muffins that have been doing around. I'm not a huge fan of apples, but these turned out pretty damn good. I decided to wrap some up and drop them off next door as part of a welcome basket for our new neighbors.

While April 22 is Earth Day, I always think of it as the day my mom quit smoking. I'm still proud of her. She had a health scare and made a deal with God (funny how we all start bargaining when we're scared) She's been smoke free since 1994. I also always remember this as the birthday of the boy I had the biggest crush on in high school. Funny how my mind remembers worthless facts like this.

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm a dork. While I'm not an American Idol watcher, I will have to watch tonight. I've always been a Broadway/show tunes junkie fan. I know I wore out a few cassette tapes (and my family's ears) with all those Andrew Lloyd Webber songs back in the day. I've been lucky enough to perform a number of shows in a number of venues, but some of those songs I'd still love to sing on a big stage.

Hi Kate - Often you write stuff that's so personal I'm afraid to read it much less comment. Ah, but today...

What a nice gift for your neighbors. Yummy!

My mother made a deal with God too, but the terms were probably different. Anyway, since she's been a born-again, she's been kind of annoying but I'm proud of some of the changes she's made.

I could probably sing Jesus Christ Superstar backwards and forwards! I listened so much my tape warped. Oh well.
