Song, brownies and wonder

Give me music and brownies and I'm happy.

I was over at the Unitarian church last night, seeing Craig Rubano, a Broadway talent, perform. He played lover Marius Pontmercy in Les Miserables for years and now attends theological seminary, which means if you like his music, by all means buy his CD's, available at his site and on amazon. He's a tremendous talent and puts on a great show, although these days he spends most of his time reading and studying.

I know he's an ally, because he spent a few minutes talking to my friend Sue's guide dog, Wonder. He also spoke about Cole Porter and his forty or so surgeries resulting in disability as he penned song after song after song.

I particularly loved Craig's Spanish-English version of the Impossible Dream last night, influenced in part by the fact that he grew up in Buenos Aires.

And the brownies. Whoever made the brownies, they were great.

And I want to thank my dear friend who treated me to the ticket for my birthday. A trip through Broadway was just what I needed, how did you know?
