Ah, Longwood Gardens. Lovely venue (I performed on that stage about a year ago). If you don't get the weekly email from Philly Fun Guide, you should sign up for that. It's mostly discount theatre tickets, but sometimes t…

It's also good with a little dressing of honey, lemon, salt and pepper, if you want to keep trying to get the kids into it! I can't get enough of the stuff, though we only buy it when it (the green kind) is on sale.

Something drew me here tonight, so it's as good a time as any to say hello. I still recognize almost all of the names posting in the forum at the moment. It's like the posting membership has been pared down to its puri…

Do you know that the only reason I'm in Chit-Chat today is because, for some reason, you popped into my head today? And then I just had to come here and find out whatever happened to Lizzy-Stardust. I searched for you,…

This is nothing all that exciting, but, as the title says, I've been a BookCrosser for over 9 years, and this is my first (and probably last) attempt at a release photo. So I thought I'd make a post about it. Interestin…

In a way it was a blessing, because I would have had that "Aha" moment eventually - I was probably spared some future aggravation. And it really lit a fire under my butt to take control of my life and improve my grades …
