Time flies
under the summer sun
Don't blink
There it goes down the road
Hold on
to each moment dearly
Breathe deep
and it will all be here

Breathe to Really Live
There never seems to be
enough time to get it
all done, every day.
Even though it's summer
there are things to fill the void
The time still flies fast.
Breathe, Rick, breathe.
Breathe to slow the time down.
Breathe to feel the summer.
Breathe to really live. Now
Breathe.
enough time to get it
all done, every day.
Even though it's summer
there are things to fill the void
The time still flies fast.
Breathe, Rick, breathe.
Breathe to slow the time down.
Breathe to feel the summer.
Breathe to really live. Now
Breathe.

Last Day for Dalmatians
Today the show wrapped, and I dedicated most of my time to hanging out at the theatre, which I really enjoy. There's a part of me that has always been a performer, even though I've never been in a play before. I feel very comfortable in front of people, speaking, singing or telling a story. I enjoy the experience.
Today I was in the Green Room, which is the room in a theater where actors wait before they go onstage. Since this show was so short, there really wasn't much action in the Green Room, so I was able to spend some time reading. What a gift! It was a reminder that I have to get back into the habit of daily reading and writing. Five minutes of writing and 20 minutes of reading. Time, time, time.
Zack and Nick were both a little sad that the show ended, but are looking forward to auditioning for the next show, which opens in December. I would love to be in a show myself, but I don't know if I have the time. I'll keep you posted.

More Dalmatians!
Zack and Nick are rolling through the run of 101 Dalmatians. Each show gets better as they gain confidence and familiarity with their spoken parts and the music. They are making new friends and enjoying the chance to be on stage and help make other people feel happy. I am very proud of them.
Seeing them onstage reminds me of all the talented kids on the Joberts team and gives me ideas for all the awesome things we can do this year :-)

101 Dalmatians!
Zack and Nick are in a the Disney show 101 Dalmatians at the Baldwin Theatre in Royal Oak this weekend. Zack is a Boxer and Nick is a Scotty. They sing, dance and act. It is a quick, exciting show with lots of familiar parts for all you Disney fans. I am very proud of my two thespians!

Lake Michigan Wedding
My nephew David (you may remember when he facetimed into the media center to talk about his career as a journalist) got married on Wednesday on the shores of Lake Michigan. It was an absolutely beautiful, brief, and rustic ceremony. The gentle sound of the waves washing onto the beach provided the perfect backdrop for a very memorable ceremony.
Monica and David - the happy couple!

Pulling Weeds
Yesterday I found myself sitting in my driveway pulling weeds out from bewteen the cracks in the concrete. As a kid, one of the things I hated most about yard work was pulling weeds. The drudgery and seemingly endless supply of weeds made me restless. I had little patience for this kind of torture.
As an adult, I certainly cannot say that I enjoy pulling weeds. What I relaize I enjoy, however, is the chance to spend some time with Mary Beth, who doesn't seem to mind pulling weeds as much as I do. Whatever tasks we do in life are always made better by the company we keep, presuming the company are people whose company we enjoy.
I also enjoy accomplishing something, especially when that "something" beautifies or improves my environment. So, I guess weeding isn't as bad for me now as it was when I was a kid. Who knows, I may actually enjoy raking leaves in the fall.
