Roxy's Christmas Breakfast

This is Roxy. Roxy is Rocky's little sister, we think she's his sister. Rocky was found a year or so ago on the ground in my brother's backyard in Northridge when he, Rocky, was very, very young. Michael, my brother, and his son Jack nursed Rocky back to health. He, Rocky, would come out of the trees every day and then with less frequency to say hello and get some treats.Roxy, as you will see, has also become somewhat of a pet to the family. Here she is on Christmas morning getting her breakfast from Michael.

It is new early February, about six weeks since this video was taken, and Roxy has grown. Grown up but not out, since my sister in-law Diane told me this morning that Roxy "knocked on the window this morning for me to come outside and feed her some breakfast."

Phil's Easy Golf Shot

Executing a great shot is one thing, even hacks like me execute a shot once a round. But to not only execute a creative shot, but to think of it in the first place is amazing. Here is one of the most creative shots I have ever seen as shown by Phil Mickelson.

The Main Event! Henry Talent Show Performances

The Patrick Henry Elementary School Talent Show was a great success. Put on through the Peforming And Theater at Henry (PATH) under the direction of Dr. Prager, the kids came up with their own acts and choreography. My understanding from Leslie who was at many of the rehearsals is that Dr. Prager had a very light hand in directing any performance and mostly it was technical, where to stand, using the microphones, etc.

Over sixty students participated in thirty one acts in six categories. Each category was judged and a winning act was chosen. Below are Blaire and Jenna's performances. They were neither the top nor the bottom of their categories and give you a pretty good idea of what how the evening went.

Blaire's group, solo singing performances, was the largest group with about ten performers, everything from rap to country. She was third up and did a great job. The winner has won every year since kindergarden I think--she's pretty good.

Jenna's group, solo dance, was in the second act and there were six or seven performers. The winner did a very good dance medley and was very deserving of the top prize. Jenna had the audience engaged and did really well.

They are already talking about what they want to perfrom next year!

Patrick Henry Talent Show Dress Rehearsal.

First up is Blaire singing "Reflection" from Disney's Mulan movie. You may want to fast forward to about 23 seconds as the curtain was a bit late

Next up is Jenna dancing and singing along (sans microphone) to "Real Gone" from Pixar's Cars (way better than Mulan in my opinion)

Note to self, for future performances do not have choreographer also be camera operator!

"Money Talks And It Speaks My Language!"

Blaire's speech for Student Council Treasurer.




UPDATE: Unfortunately despite such a fine speech Blaire was unsuccessful in her campaign to be Treasurer o f the Student Council.
