Arts August

This is the second year we've had it in our family: the month in which one child does intensive musical theater--appearing in a show after about 48 hours of rehearsal--and another does intensive art, commuting to the city to study Graphic Design six hours a day for two weeks. Last night we saw S.'s wonderful performance as Flounder in "The Little Mermaid, Jr."; today M. and I go to the city to see the Show of Work by the students of Parsons Pre-College Academy. After that M. and I will shop Soho and the East Village, at her request. Blogging has been light, but I'm doing a lot of living.
