The Sun'll Come Out....Whenever!

Well, I don't know how she talked me into this....

But here's a birthday video for Robyn. Not the video I had envisioned for the song (it was supposed to be saved for an Abby and Sofie video- but some video files are having codec issues, and I can't unlock them); but hope it brings a smile to Robyn's heart, anyway.

And for the record, that was not me filming Robyn's butt (although I take responsibility for including it in the video- it's clean and cute...I mean the footage is clean and cute)!

Maya, had the camera, and was filming. Mischievous kid.....

Happy 26th birthday, Robyn!

Where's Abby?

Oh! There she is:



She's been missing her Saturday classes for her Wildwood School Theater rehearsals of Les Miserables, in which she plays the part of Cosette. "Castle on a Cloud", I think, was the first song that made me curious about the rest of the musical. I remember my dorm neighbor had the Broadway Cast album. It was interesting, but foreign to my tastes. Then I think I saw the actress who plays Cosette in the Los Angeles Company appear on the Tonight Show to sing "Castle on a Cloud". After that, I borrowed and listened to the entire album and was hooked.

After moving out of the dorms and getting an apartment with Michael Chaplin, Scott Keswick, Terry Notary, I would still play the musical. Chainey Umphrey would be over, playing Japanese Nintendo video games with Keswick and after initially knee-jerk rejecting it, they soon became hooked on Les Miz as well. We eventually bought tickets to see it at the Schubert.

Abby's mom was kind enough to supply Robyn, Thea, and I with tickets to Friday night's performance. The show was stellar; I was really impressed. And Abby really shined!

"Cosette" Does Her Round-Off Backhandspring

Last Saturday Abby made some progress:

She's only been coming once a week, practicing for a school production of my favorite musical, Les Miserables. Abby asked me to post this up, of her singing her role:



Robyn and I are invited!
