Tomorrow is Valentines Day. It is smart to take pause and tell the people you care about that you love them. Everyone enjoys being told they are special.
I heard this morning that a computer plane crashed while landing in Buffalo, N.Y. All 49 passengers died. One lady was returning to Buffalo to attend festivities honoring her husband at his high school where they were establishing a scholarship in his name. The husband had been on a plane that crashed on 9/11. If I were a surviving family member, I might consider not choosing to fly.
Your Mom and I went to see "Wicked" at the local performing arts center. The title gives away the content of the play because it contains witches. It is the story written before Dorothy from Kansas crashes her house on top of the wicked Witch of the West and steals her red slippers.
Wicked is about a family of witches growing up and evolving into good witches, bad witches, green witches and disadvantaged witches. It is your nomal dysfunctional family. Good stuff! Fighting. Jealousy. Vanity. "Spells". There are strange births including green babies and "animal like" beings. I guess that all part of being dysfunctional.
I won't reveal how the production "plays out" but it has interesting twists and turns.
So just about the time you think dysfunction in your family has reached an all time extreme high, go see Wicked.
I want everyone in our family to feel wanted on Feb.14! Please be my Valentine.
Love,
Dad
