My wife and I just got back from a trip to New York! We had a lot of fun even though we left the
city on New Year’s Eve. We didn’t get to
mark “New Year’s Eve in Times Square” off the bucket list, but we did save a
lot of money by leaving early ;)
Gretchen and I love going to Broadway shows whenever we
get the chance. On this trip we went to
see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular as well as Bring it On the Musical. We’re obviously not snobs when it comes to
our theater choices – we enjoy all of them, whether they are epic masterpieces
or stories of spoiled little rich cheerleaders!
One of the highlights of our trip was meeting 2008 tony
winner Lin-Manuel Miranda (In the Heights) in the lobby during intermission! He was the co-composer and lyricist for Bring
it On and was there to see the final performance. Unfortunately I didn’t have enough time to
convince him he should hire me to help write his next project ;) Oh well, maybe next time.
One of the things we enjoy most about shows is simply
seeing people living out their dreams.
It’s inspiring to see such talented performers who’ve worked years honing
their craft, endured countless auditions and rejections, and persevered until
their dream was realized. They made it
to the Broadway stage! They are doing what
they love to do!
My New Year’s wish and prayer for all of us is that we
could be so blessed. That we could work
hard doing what we love to do, enjoying the process as well as any reward that
comes from it.
My current project, young
adult novel Hunter’s Oath, is in reader reviews now. Soon I’ll have some cover art to show and
hopefully a release this spring.
