Lightening up...

So someone commented on last night's post that it is summer and I need to lighten up. Well, normally I would let the inner NYer in me respond with a superlative and maybe an obscene hand gesture, but I think he may be right.

So to aid that end, I have been listening to the soundtrack to Hairspray and singing along to not only scare my animals but my neighbors. During the old days when I would feel the way I have been feeling, I would sing some showtunes (not always in my natural voice either). I have to say, nothing makes me feel better than belting out some showtunes out of tune.

So I say thank you to Alan, my commenter from last night, and would like to encourage everyone to check out his own blog offering: LaDandy (Northern California).
