Crazy for You

If you like Glee or Smash I recommend coming to the TC Williams musical Crazy For You May 4,5,11 or 12 at 7:30. I've been working with the students for the past month.  They have been in rehearsal since January.  Its a song and dance filled show of boy find girl, losses girl, gets girl while putting on a show in her father's old theatre.  The music is by George and Ira Gershwin.  You'll know the tunes.
Here are some iPhone/iPad shots from the production .

Trees

Arbor Day was a big deal when we were kids at Elberon Elementary School.  We saved our pennies and planted trees each year in front of the school.  Sad to say, the building was slated for renovation years ago.  It sat empty for years. 

A dump was located on/near the property and the land proclaimed toxic.  So the building was torn down.

Fenced off.

 Forbidden territory.

 

 

And the children's trees?  Carefully spaced and lovingly planted at each entrance to the parking lot. Not behind the fence or on the dump site but growing strong along the street were chopped.

 

So not necessary.

 The stumps still stand.

 

The sign still says "coming in July 2013".  I don't know if that is true.

 

I hope they will have an Arbor Day and replace the trees.

Rain!

Today it is finally raining.  The flowers are saying thank you!

Fly Me To The Moon

We just watched history as the space shuttle Discovery make it's last flight before heading to display at the Smithsonian Air Museum.'s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia.

 

 We were just in time to see the first pass headed down the Potomac.

The second pass took it back over the city.

Sorry, this is out of focus.

Next time we see it will be on the ground.
