Hairspray the MUSICAL: graphic design by Flint Communications
 ... Over one hundred exuberant teenagers singing and dancing and characterizing  the early sixties on a highschool stage!  (Girls with bee hive hair do's)  Behind the scenes,  teenage orchestra.  Violins included.
      Inside the cover of the Hairspray program: 
     "From the day you are born, the world tries to pound the creativity out of you.  But if you protect it, use it and develop it, incredible things happen.  We know this first-hand.  Be glad for creativity.  Be glad for different thinking.  And be glad we have THE ARTS."  Flintcommunications

Groundhog's Day 2011


"Six more weeks of napping?"
Today is Barbara's Birthday and Ground hog's Day :

   Barbara's  hands are in braces (arthritis) with only her thumbs sticking out.
  "Barbara,"  I say,   "Thumbs up to the groundhog
not seeing his shadow today." 
   The groundhog will be climbing out of ten feet of snow  to check out its shadow.
