Walk This Way (Young Frankenstein)

Another week of not running; this is getting old fast. I have been going out for walks .....  this morning I jogged perhaps a quarter mile to gauge my condition. Not there yet but a small improvement I think.
 
Tonight I will see Maggie on TJ (Thomas Johnson High School) stage for the last time, she will be performing tomorrow evening as well but I have a wedding to attend. They are performing “Young Frankenstein”, Maggie plays Frau Blucher (Played by Cloris Leachman in the movie). Needless to say it is quite a departure from her role as Ariel in “The Little Mermaid”

Two years ago I was questioning if I would even see her graduate high school much less perform on stage, I am very grateful and proud. She is in a word... amazing. The director came up to Susan and I last night after the show (we were waiting for Maggie to change) and said, “I will miss that girl, she is talented, she can do it all”. To which I replied, “ She loves it here, flunk her!”. He got a funny look on his face as though he really considered it for a moment. 

Our weekend will be quite busy, Patrick will be coming home, Maggie will have her performances, I'll be helping at a 100 mile race tomorrow morning and then heading to Baltimore for the wedding of a friend's son.  Sunday will be "Run For 
The Rock", a 5K run that I had wanted to "Tear Up", instead I'll participate in the mile walk. 

It will be a good weekend.

Mike
