January 2010

Hello, and Happy 2010 !

2010 - Wow - it sounds like a sci-fi movie ( which it was )... Hard to believe that it's actually the year in which we live ! Amazing ! Well - I hope all of you have a wonderful beginning to a new decade that I'm sure will prove full of rewards and surprises, much like the last one did. I look back in reflection as to what 2000 through 2009 held, and I'm amazed at how many incredible things happened to the world, and for me personally ! I'm looking forward to seeing what the new year and new decade hold !

Speaking of which - TMTO ( Teen Musical Theater of Oregon ) is about to hold it's Auditions for the 10th (!) production of its' existence, "The Will Rogers Follies". The "Follies" is the musical telling of famed philosopher / comedian Will Rogers' life, in the high-style of the Ziegfeld Follies. Great music, dance, and poignant story all promise to be a terrific show for all to see, as well as participate in. Auditions are at the Craterian Ginger Rogers Theater, Medford, Oregon, Saturday, January 16th, from 10am to 2:30pm. Performances at the Craterian are April 15-17. Go to www.craterian.org for tickets, and to www.cmtoregon.org for more info...

Personally, some big changes are in-store for me this year. I can't go into detail right now, but suffice it to say, 2010 promises to have some major and exciting changes planned. Of course, as timing permits, you can learn about them here in my blog. Stay tuned for more on this - I'm excited as to what this year ahead holds. Be assured - you'll be impressed and surprised !

My birthday is tomorrow - another one already ?? I can't believe another one is upon me - the saying you hear really is becoming true : time really does go faster as you get older. I don't know how that happens, but it certainly does seem to be the truth. I'm very grateful for all of the blessings and good fortune I've had / do have, and to be honest, I still feel, mentally, about 28 years of age... I've also been blessed with good health, ( knock on wood ), so things are going quite well at this birthday.

Thanks for reading my blog, and stay tuned to this channel for exciting info as it develops this year... You don't want to miss it !

Have a great January, and come see TMTO's soon-to-be smash hit, "The Will Rogers Follies" in April !

- John.
