Wednesday was just the perfect day.

A few minutes past 10 AM, my sister, Dena, and three of her four children, arrived from Indiana to spend the day. She had with her Jonathan, 26, and the twins, Kaytlinn and James, 14. During lunch at El Toro, we got to speak with Andrew, 25. This was the first time I had seen them since March 2022. Later that summer, my sister was hospitalized, and soon learned that she, too, suffered with multiple sclerosis.

We spent a few hours at The National Museum of the United States Air Force and also had a great time with a three hour lunch chat. 

By 6:30 PM, my dear friend, Kellen White and I were heading down to Schuster Center to watch HADESTOWN. Monday, I discovered I had won two complementary corporate tickets to this Broadway powerhouse national tour. It was interesting being on the other side of the fence, going into the building as a patron and not as a house manager.

The music is superb, as is the cast and the lighting design. This lighting designer deserves their own Tony award just for this production.

This morning, we have rain showers which will give way to thunderstorms for the afternoon. I am a little tired, but my mind and soul are greatly refreshed. Having spent the day with my sister, niece, nephews, Kellen, and seeing and chatting with a number of my colleagues from Dayton Live.

Make it a great day!
