This time of year we do a lot of end of the year gigs for schools; be it high school grad nights, proms, grade school or kindergartens. It's fun to do because once June is gone we go into hyper mode criss-crossing the country doing amusement parks, fairs, and festivals. Yesterday it was a school in Sacramento and that was a ton of fun. We did it outside. Today, however, had to be the best school ever. The school was in Santa Clara and the kids were extremely well behaved. I learned it was a "Basics Plus" school....no social crap clogging the system, not Title 1, no free lunches, not bells or whistles.....just basic fundamental education...and the students were awesome! I was told they score incredibly high on standardized tests, and they rank very high nationally. get this...it's not in a rich neighborhood.
Jim, Princess O and I performed and boy was it a pleasure. The principal said it was the best show they ever had! She's a little older than me and has been principalling ans teaching many years so I took that as a major compliment.
The Sacramento school folks, and today's school folks all invited us back next year and promised to spread the word about the show. Cool!
Today Mami and I have been married for 20 years! 7 kids. One marriage. On Friday we take a one day honeymoon...20 years late....but definitely needed! Best wife ever!
