I know … last’s week’s opening image was better. It may have been too difficult to top.
This week seemed to fly by. Blogging wise, I feel behind on visiting your wonderful blogs. Given my schedule, I know this weekend won’t be the time to make up for lost time.
Dancing with the Stars (Season 20) is underway with Rumer Willis and Nastia Luikin establishing themselves as the early favorites. But I wonder who will be the one or two that will develop into challengers.
I’m unsure if next week will be the one where I ramp up a full posting schedule. It’s possible, but I will know more Monday.
No Saturday Morning Cartoon or Explore this weekend because I hope to finish preparing a special post that is timely for the day.
Many have been anxiously anticipating the upcoming announcement of the next musical. Although Opening Night is still undetermined, my production choice will surprise many. The next aFa musical production will be Meals: The Musical.

Snowman Burning Day is perfect for the warm weather in the mountains here, Frank! We’re up for our last ski weekend and the snow is rapidly melting. Had a good day today, but shortened by spring skiing conditions (icy in the morning because of sub zero temps at night and slushy in the afternoon because of warm temperatures). I’m very curious about Meals the Musical…

Thanks for posting that image of that guy, Frank. I had been considering scarfing an after dinner snack but he completely killed my appetite. So, Goof-Off Day is making a return on Sunday?

I find it somewhat ironic that burning the snowman falls on the first day of spring (in the Northern hemisphere, of course); Teenagers do not need a day as they think they ALL belong to them; I definitely don’t dance enough so will have to use Saturday as the encouragement to start; Sunday (dimanche) je vais parler en français – as it is Francophone day. Oh way, I parle in français all the time!
A musical on meals? That will be most interesting. Already want to start thinking about which direction the director will want to go in but then I shall be patient and see what is to come!

I wish I had time for Sherlock Holmes day. That strikes me as a day worth celebrating. I would like to celebrate it wearing a deer stalker and a robe with a Sherlock Holmes novel in one hand and a cup of tea in the other but alas, I am too busy studying to affect that rakish look. SO many days, so little time to spend even contemplating them, let alone indulging them. Glad to see you are multi-tasking Mr Frank, with both “Victory” and “Dancing” in the same video. Too strenuous for me…back to the books…
