istock_000000558203xsmallTaylor had his big performance not too long ago.  He was Mr. Brooke in the musical Little Women.  It was awesome, but there was something strangely surreal about watching my kid on stage assuming the persona of someone else.  It was joyful, nerve-racking and heart-stopping all in one!  I survived!  Our song is Arianna by Second Saturday.  Thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show!

up-pixar-render.jpgMovies, movies, movies!  There are some real good ones to choose from right now!  If you haven’t seen the latest movie from Pixar - Up, you need to go!  It is a spectacular movie, and clearly one of Pixar’s best.  I think it is as good as Finding Nemo which has been my all time favorite for a very long time!  The short film shown prior to Up, Partly Cloudy, was wonderful and worth the ticket price alone.

And, I know we are late to this party, but Star Trek was awesome too!  Here are some great movies to look forward to: Toy Story 3 (next summer) and The Princess and the Frog (November). If you don’t want to drag the family to the movie theater, then a good pick is Madagascar 2 which Paige has just recently watched with (and without) her kids!  Our song is Time Will Only Tell by Lucky Day.  Thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show!

istock_000004842372xsmall.jpgWe divided and conquered last week!  Paige traveled to Cincinnati to a blogger meet up at Pampers.  I went to the CDC in Atlanta to give the keynote address at a conference and then flew on to Las Vegas where NAB was meeting.  While in Las Vegas, I saw the BEST show!  Terry Fator, who won America’s Got Talent last year.  This show is a must see!  We’re back in Virginia now, recovering from the whirlwind trips which, by the way, were not without incident!  Our song is Summer by Derek James.  Thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show!
