Just to get another post in before the month ends

Looked up and saw another 17 days have passed. My, how time flies when you're having fun.

Since the last post, there have been double-digit number of soccer games and practices for Collin, Rachel has "starred" in "How to Eat Like a Child"--she's now on YouTube, officially, with her scene of "How to Beg For a Dog-Say Yes," tax returns have been done, and I have been back and forth to Tuscaloosa four times. And may go tomorrow.

Was proud of Rachel, as she, at nine years of age, decided to audition for the Leeds Art Council production of "Beauty and the Beast." She went Tuesday night and left feeling good that she did it, but figures realistically she won't get cast. Fingers are still crossed for a role--any role.

Had the pleasure of listening to oldest daughter Caitlin's "voice jury" today. Felt a little like a stalker as nobody is allowed in the room with her, but she told us we could hear her outside in the hallway, as she had heard others, and invited us to come. Was strange hearing her voice so high--she has undergone a lot of training--and she did the German song she sang justice. Afterward Sue, Caitlin, Collin, Rachel and I went out to dinner and enjoyed a nice evening together. Arrived back in Birmingham at the very reasonable hour of 8:30-ish, which tells you how nice it is to have a daughter only an hour or so away at college.

Back to work--have a deadline for some discovery tomorrow in a case and getting ready to call co-counsel on it. I'm hoping to pretty much finish up most of it tonight and have very little "official" that needs to occur tomorrow. Sue's mom is coming in from New Orleans on the 9:05 flight for Collin's first communion Sunday, Rachel's 10th birthday Monday, and Sarah's choral concert. In the meantime, we have soccer continuing, dance for Rachel and Sarah as they move toward recitals, girl scouts and boy scouts, volleyball registration and pre-season practices, and Sarah will be in the Shelby County Junior Miss Pageant this summer, and some preliminary work on that has begun. And school and work--and oh yeah, the class I teach at Jeff State has Final Exams Monday, too.

So everything about normal. Missed seeing my buddies Frank Thompson and Dianne Daniels do Harvey at South City Theatre, and was very disappointed that everything hit at once for two weeks surrounding their performances. I'm a big fan of cozy theatre, and enjoy the occasional "Harvey," non-musical, life-is-good, family friendly performances, and I have no doubt that it was a real treat that I missed. Maybe some day they'll repeat it and I'll be sure and catch it then.

Til later--a rededication toward more frequent updates. Oh, I've also started four Twitter accounts too, so I ought to be "updating" all over the place (3 are business related--one my own law practice, one a joint venture law practice with another attorney, and one Kentucky Sports Report). As I said, everything about normal.
