A Whale Of A Story

This weekend is starting off with a touch of surrealism...apparently a whale somehow strayed off course and swam upstream into the Thames, much to the amazement of Londoners making their daily commutes. The BBC online report said that the whale swam past Big Ben and Parliament, confusing and amusing most of the pedestrians in the Westminster area.

Even the aquatic mammals appreciate the beauty of London. I hope the whale has tea at Harrod's and drops by Westminster Abbey before taking in a show in the West End followed by a drink at some cozy little pub in Soho or Covent Garden before he hops on the tube and heads back to the docklands and home. What a happy day for Mr. Whale! (Okay, this is starting to sound like a children's book...:-)

A good review of South Pacific in today's Birmingham News, as well as on www.ebhm.org

The King & I is progressing well. Don has started to work on the ballet, which is going to be very good. I am looking forward to getting started on the scene work next week.

Subbing today at Vestavia High School. As usual, the kids are good, lunch is cheap, and the day is going well.
