Day 1422: On our way

Bad news.   Colin and April aren't coming home for Christmas this year.  I wasn't too shocked since they will be moving at the beginning of January, but it is disappointing.  It will be hard on us, but harder on April's mom.  At least we will see them this week.  We've been very fortunate to celebrate Christmas together every year except for 2004 when Colin was serving in Korea.  Even then, we used FaceTime to connect.  With them living in California, I suspect this is just the first of many holidays we'll celebrate on opposite coasts.  We'll make the best of our time together this week for both Thanksgiving and Colin and Evan's birthdays.  And, we decided to go visit during the spring break.

Steve stayed home and relaxed all day.  That doesn't happen very often.  Most of his loyal stage crew worked late last night and they got the stage back in order for upcoming events. Pride rock is still intact, but that can wait to be dismantled after we return.  After vacation, auditions for Aida will be held and prep for the spring show will begin.
