A Lovely Night
Today was my first non-medical outing off the hill: Mom and Dad and I went to see Emma in (very brief portions of) Hemet High's production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Poor Emma is such a good singer and a funny actress too, which we found out when she did Into the Woods Jr. in eighth grade. But she doesn't audition well, and she had only one singing line (fabulous though). Cinderella was a belter with decent pitch but blah tone. The Prince made me mad...he was cute and a good actor and all but geez how hard are those songs that you can't even sing on pitch? The stepsisters were phenomenal and the Queen and the Fairy Godmother had great pipes. Cute all around but not a particularly rewarding show on stage (it was written for TV). Some nice songs though. I just wanted to get up on stage and do it myself!

Saw several people from the old days, including Danny and Emily and son (so cute, almost three), Lindsay of course, Carly and fetus, Sheri Ann and Butch, Mr. Fernandes, Gigi, Lori and Rohn West, Katie Deroche and child...also gave kudos to Talia Alofaituli (Godmother) and Hannah Moore (Queen), both of whom I introduced myself to even though they apparently already knew me. Saw Michael Gray who looks so much like his brother Danny (and is apparently one of those horrid gay mormons) and a girl Emma knows who said, when she saw me, "You must be a Salter. Can I have a name?" I wore the blue shirt I bought with Mim in Cambridge, and Sheri Ann said I had a bit of sparkle. Good outing in all.
.
Emma is at the cast party for the night so Mom, Dad and I had a yummy pork dinner and then, at my suggestion and Mom's request, watched the Disney Cinderella from 1950. What a fun, exciting, beautiful film. The best part of it was when Mom and Dad sang along to "So This Is Love." Sickeningly romantic without knowing it, especially for a usually non-romantic couple. I want that kind of marriage.
