• When The Show Is Over, What Remains?

  We don’t go to the movies much. Our choice. But I’d wanted to see The Greatest Showman because I’ve always had a fascination with P. T. Barnum and circuses, so we went with some friends.

• Songs Of The Season; Songs Of The Soul

  Music has always played a big part in my life, though I’m neither a vocalist nor a musician. I took piano for a few years until I realized my piano teacher would say the same thing to me whether I practiced or not. It was one of those losing battles Mom finally gave up on.…
