Well, the semi-reticent camper has returned from her first International Music Camp (IMC) experience with a glowing review. Already she has decided that she wants to return next year (quite a big change for the girl who hesitated getting out of the car a week ago Sunday). She has been talking almost non-stop about camp since [...]

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Jersey boy and I were fortunate to be able to catch the opening night of RENT at the Fargo-Moorhead Community Theatre on Thursday evening.
