Saturday night, the Edgerton High School class of 1992 met to commemorate and reminisce on 20 YEARS of life following graduation. In total, 17 classmates (along with their significant others… well some with their s.o) gathered at Sam’s Place. A golf outing had been arranged but those plans fell through which was fine with me (unless […]
It really does seem like yesterday that I was on stage in what is now my third favorite role ever. A few fantastic parts over the last 6 years or so have pushed it back a few places. I’m not one to play favorites but let’s be honest… some roles just hold more meaning behind
Strange how the events of a few days can change the atmosphere around you. Just days after I was joyously welcoming the arrival of two special little ones, a life-long family of friends experienced not one, not, two, but three tragedies. On Thursday, one of my dearest friends welcomed a new granddaughter. The moments Teresa

On Thursday, I purchased my “new” car. As another of our tangenteers surmised it is indeed a 2002 Honda CR-V complete with slide out table in the back. I was informed that Edy would be at the shop and then she and “Big” John would go to the bank and sign the title over to

Yes, I very fondly remember my first time seeing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera. It was on a Saturday afternoon in October 1990 at the Auditorium Theatre at Roosevelt University (ok… so I had to check the Stagebill for the official venue name) in Chicago the day after our marching band performed

While everyone else dispersed to the various ballgames for the evening (a niece and a nephew actually played against each other on the t-ball field while another was in a neighboring community), I took my 5 year old niece to Story Hour at the library. I had taken Syd to the first gathering a few
Funny thing about living in a small town for the better part of 36 years, you have many memories that really do take you back. Last night, a customer who used to work at the store when it was known as Shaffer Value was in and I had to recite her full name (which is

Usually when an unfamiliar caller pops up on the caller ID, I let the machine pick it up. Unless of course, the caller redials then curiosity rears its evil head.. Tonight, a friend I have not seen in four years phoned me. Mandie (I swore it was with no -e) and I worked together at

Just found out that my nephew, Joshua came in second place in his school’s spelling bee putting him on the next step to the National Bee. As you might have guessed, he misspelled toboggan. As his father so eloquently pointed out, Joshua did not inherit his spelling and grammar skills from him. Definitely his math
