Tired. Tired. Tired.

Didn't get home til well past 2 AM after driving to Tampa to see closing night of our nephew's play. He played Roger in Grease. I can see why the kids love Grease -- it's something easy to put on in high school, and something they can all identify with, we've all seen it a million times and know all the songs, etc.

For me, even though I thought the production was great and the kids did well, it's just a dinky story.

Basically, Sandy and Danny don't have the balls to just be themselves and stick up for that, they buckle to peer pressure and then they try to "change" themselves so the other's group will accept them.

But we all love it because of it's cheesiness, not because it's great theatre! :)

Then we had to get up at 7 AM to take Lucy to the vet because she needed abcesses lanced and she needed a check-up. Today we are finishing the cage so we can get them outdoors.

Paul is still napping, and I'm off to look at aviaries and pricing for fencing the yard.
