Words of admonition from Ms. Batreesa during rehearsal today: "EXCUSE ME but if I EVER see you untying another person's shoe laces during practice, you will NOT be in the concert! I never want to see that again!"

Sometimes when I say things like that, I think about the fact that I still owe BC a relatively large fortune.
And then I think about the fact that I have no desire to have children. For a very. long. time.
