One Proud Dad!

I did not really have a chance to put together any real blog account this week. My week was focused on making it to Friday night when Mara would be opening in “Bye Bye Birdie” with Westborough High School’s Center Stage. They always put on great productions at the High School and this one may be the best that I have seen since moving here5 years ago.

I have to say right here that I am completely biased. But, Mara put on an amazing performance as one of the Sweet Apple Teen Girls. She has really great stage presence. Not to mention high energy. In fact, the whole cast really blew me away with their energy throughout the show. I got tired just watching them do those dance numbers.

I think what I find so great about the Center Stage group is that they really welcome in the under classmen. Mara has made some great friends already and she has only been in two productions. I have to admit that I am really proud of her. I can’t wait to see her future productions at Westborough High. I know she will always have really fond memories of her time on stage.

Besides the excitement of “Bye Bye Birdie”, it was a really strange weather week. When I did my 16 miler on Saturday, it was 48 degrees. Then on Monday, it was 22 and snowing. It stayed in the 20’s until Friday when we hit 49. It makes it a bit hard to dress for my runs. I am not complaining though. I am just hoping the warming trend continues.
