Wait For It......

Brandon auditioned for and was admitted to Florida School of the Arts - which turned out to be the least of his problems. Remember all the fun of starting college? Running from the registrar's office to the financial aid office to the advisor's office, back to the registrar, then finding out you'd be dropped if you don't pay RIGHT NOW...yeah, it sucks even when it's not you. Thankfully I had Ashley with me, and a few drinks at lunch, to get me through without a tantrum. Double thankfully, I'm not Brandon (who handled himself well, considering), because I definitely would have thrown a complete tantrum, probably on that second trip to the financial aid office.

Palatka is a very long drive. Even a little one-hour trip becomes a very long drive on a two-lane road through a national forest. Pretty, but long. Not unlike trekking (alone) through rural Arkansas, which was an experience in itself.

So did I mention that Moonlight is putting up Man of La Mancha in January? Did I mention that I really want to play Aldonza? Did I mention that Ken (aka Big Daddy, or "Mr. Rush" for the under-eighteen and former-student set) would like to play Don Quixote? That would be a very cool thing, playing opposite The Man.
