Whether Anna?

Anna was probably embarrassed about what she had put down. She has always been big into ballet. A friend’s daughter graduated from college last year in music. She went to NYC to audition, but I don’t think she landed anything. The girl had a recital one Sunday afternoon at Johnson Ferry that Anna and Matthew enjoyed immensely, and Anna got a copy of her demo CD to play…popular/current Broadway tunes, like from Wicked. One easy thing Anna could do would be to join her good friend in the Johnson Ferry youth choir. They’re almost to the age where they go on trips and put on musicals. Last fall Anna had a friend dance in the Nutcracker, and she wants to try out this fall.

Back in the mid 80’s even I was going to the Omni so much that I was beginning to recognize the ushers myself.

Will was out to 10:30 last night…the Living Science gang hit Starbucks after their Bible Study. A friend of his called needing him to fill in tonight at a game in Dunwoody, but Will already has a game. That would’ve been fun.

The results of the AJC poll on what the Braves should do were funny…overwhelmingly in favor of bringing in the best players possible. JS couldn’t say how much cheaper it is to develop players in the Dominican than here. Baseball in the USA appears to becoming a rich man’s game. If you don’t pay thousands to play travel ball you’ll never make the high school team. MLB is making token efforts to bring baseball to the inner city, but those leagues will produce few, if any, big leaguers. The one black boy on Will’s travel team may be a good football player, but is way too mechanical in baseball…at the plate, on the mound, and in the field. But he definitely has the family support.

Everyone is panicking about Chuck James, except Dave O’Brien. Hopefully/probably this slump is just a bump along the way. Yes, this appears to be a down year for many in the NL. Since Andruw doesn’t like talk of moving him from the cleanup position, Cox will probably leave him there, considering it’s early May and we’re high in the standings.
