I am leaving this weekend for Pittsford, NY to celebrate the birthday of one of my favorite little people. (No!, not that kind of little person.) Kate is our best friend Tonya's daughter who will be celebrating her 6th Birthday. She was the flower girl in our wedding this past summer and has has grown into such an intelligent little grown up. Her memory is so good that she gets Uncle D, Uncle Tim and Mommy in trouble way too often for remembering things we have said. Next month they are going to take a trip out here to see us so that we can visit NYC to take Kate to the American Girl Store and to a Broadway show. (She and Uncle D are going to see Beauty and the Beast while Mommy and Uncle Tim sneak over to see Mr. Connick, Jr. in his PJs.) She is already in love with certain musicals and will never forget the day when Stephanie J. Block called her "sweet sugar" at the stage door of the Wicked tour in Toronto. I count myself very lucky to be her "Uncle Tim". Also this weekend we will be seeing a production of Miss Saigon in which her cousin Brady will be playing Tam. Brady and his sister Marcy were adopted from overseas by two great parents who are giving them a life they never would have had before. I get to see these kids at least a few times a year and it is always some of my favorite weekends. They have such an amazing spirit and innocence that reminds me of how great life can really be sometimes.
