I sang for her after breakfast. We had a laugh and I promised to stop by later. I then sent family and friends to visit over the course of the day. I did see her between work and a play and we had a couple laughs. Her cognition seems to be improving a bit.

At Rotary lunch, a guy who had been helping me with the decor of the gala, Jack Mara, came up with great enthusiasm and said that he wanted to tell me how great it was working with me and that he loved how my brain works. Leanne and I both had a good laugh at that. She said that’s not something you hear every day and I said no and I have witnesses lol

I was invited up to read the nominating letter and present the award from the district to Judy. She was very surprised and there were many good compliments to her and to me for nominating her. She is the only person I know that is older than me and I feel taller around her. She’s a powerhouse of a little woman.

I was somewhat regretting spending over $25 to get my single ticket to see a high school musical. But I got there in time and was three rows up centre stage. It was the perfect spot and wow what a great show. I’m still not a huge fan of musicals cause I find sometimes the songs just go on too long, but I have complained about the inappropriate con content in a bunch of the high school shows of late. This one was completely inappropriate was remarkably done. The characters were spot on and the choreography and costumes were a lot of fun. I was blown away by the boys tap dance number.

The actors who portrayed SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward were so good. They were also a couple of side characters that really nailed the essence of the cartoon. Jared, father of Squidward otherwise known as Navy Gross was sitting in front of me and we had a great catch up. He is hoping to be in Neverland this fall and I am auditioning for Blood Relations at CCT.

I left the Theatre happy and that is exactly what I needed. Thanks, Patrick.
