Alastair McLeod and Matt Golinski headline Skygate Masterclass.
Skygate will host two of Queensland's favourite chefs at the annual free Christmas Masterclass on Saturday 7 December 2013.The ever popular Alastair McLeod said he is excited to be joined this year by his great mate, Sunshine Coast-based Matt Golinski."Matt is a wonderful chef and I am looking forward to working with him to showcase some of Queensland's great produce available at Skygate," Alastair said.
Alastair can't wait to share a couple of his favourite recipes including a modern twist to the classic Pavlova.
"I will be reinventing the traditional holiday turkey with some wonderful flavours as well as sharing my secrets of the festive Pavlova," he said.The delicious recipes will showcase the fruit and veg available at Woolworths and award winning Clancyjames meat, paired with the perfect wine from Dan Murphy's.
Matt will be cooking up the tastes of summer, with King prawns and chicken on the menu.
"Alastair and I share a passion for using fresh, local produce," Matt said. "I like to eat fresh simply-prepared meals that are healthy and made with love."There is a lot of love between Matt and Alastair who have been friends for over a decade including many years working together on the television program Ready Steady Cook."Matt's a great mate and I have enormous respect for him as a chef and as a person. We both really enjoy doing these cooking demonstrations together," Alastair said."We met 12 years ago on an educational trip to the Yarra Valley learning about salmon roe. We bonded over learning how to hand-milk the salmon; which I can tell you is a unique experience!"
Alastair's stories, Irish humor and cooking games with the audience have been a clear highlight of the annual Masterclass event, and this year will be no different."There will be lots of shenanigans! Plus lots of great food of course," Alastair said.Audience members can take home recipe booklets, and purchase all of the ingredients needed at The Village Markets to recreate the magic at home.As well as cooking demonstrations, there will be samples, Dan Murphy's wine matches, games, giveaways and free gingerbread decorating for the kids.

BlackRock launches two Paris-aligned climate European equity ETFs
The ETF issuer's fourth climate equity ETF
By Tom Eckett,
BlackRock has expanded its range of Paris-aligned climate ETFs with the launch of two European equity strategies.
The iShares MSCI EMU Paris-Aligned Climate UCITS ETF (EMPA) and the iShares MSCI Europe Paris Aligned UCITS ETF (EUPB) are listed on Euronext Amsterdam with total expense ratios (TERs) of 0.15%.
The two ETFs track the MSCI EMU Climate Paris-Aligned Select index and the MSCI Europe Climate Paris-Aligned Select index, respectively, which are linked to the European Union's Paris-Aligned Benchmark (PAB).
As a result, this requires a carbon intensity reduction of at least 50% versus the parent benchmark and a minimum 7% decarbonisation reduction year-on-year which are consistent with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
The ETFs are categorised as Article 9 under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) with BlackRock adding 70% of its ETF launches and repositionings this year will qualify as Article 8 or 9.
BlackRock said in a statement: "New climate-oriented investments are now available to investors to help with the economic transition, and one widely available means for clients to effect change right now is through ETFs.
"The EU's climate benchmarks are designed to reduce exposure to transition and physical climate risks and manage climate change opportunities, as well as help investors seeking to align with a decarbonation trajectory that is compatible with the Paris Agreement."
Are climate change ETFs greenwashing?
The launches bring BlackRock's total climate equity ETFs to four. In April, the world's largest asset manager unveiled the iShares S&P 500 Paris Aligned UCITS ETF (UPAB) and the iShares MSCI World Paris Aligned UCITS ETF (WPAB).
Last October, the firm launched Europe's first Paris-aligned government bond ETF, the iShares € Govt Bond Climate UCITS ETF (SECD).

We've made it to the top 10 albums of 2015! Coming in at #10 is the other band I hinted at in my review of Gunnera, by Pfarmers, which came in at #27. El Vy is another group made of pieces and parts from Menomena and The National, and this is the better of the two, because it's the one that has Matt Berninger on vocals and Brent Knopf on keyboards / backup vocals.
I always preferred Knopf's songs in Menomena more than the songs written by Danny Seim or Justin Harris. His more recent project, Ramona Falls, felt very much like a full version of what amounted to usually no more than a third of each Menomena album. I was surprised to hear that El Vy doesn't sound like Brent Knopf's songs. That's mostly because Berninger does all the lead vocals, although I can imagine that Berninger and Knopf's combined songwriting skills are particularly good when they're working together.
This is a solid rock & roll album. Guitars, drums, keyboards — all the elements are there, including Berninger's signature baritone. You've most likely heard The National before, and to the casual listener, this will sound like The National to you. You can hear other songs from the album over on YouTube, where the band has a few glorified lyric videos. Pick up the album. You won't be disappointed.

ADHD Found to be More Likely in Kids With Young Mothers
Scientists at the University of South Australia (UniSA) have investigated the relationship between children born with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and female reproductive traits. They have discovered that the risk of developing ADHD is strongly linked to young maternal age during the first birth, and is especially pronounced in women under 20 years old. The findings have been published in Scientific Reports.
"Young mums can have it tough, especially as they're adjusting to becoming a parent while they're still young themselves," said Associate Professor Hong Lee, a UniSA researcher. "By understanding the links between becoming a mother at a young age and having a child with ADHD, we're able to better educate and support families sooner."
ADHD is a complex disorder that arises as children develop. The neurodevelopmental condition makes it hard for people to concentrate or control their impulses and emotions and can make them hyperactive. Affected individuals may seem not to listen when they're being directly spoken to, they may overlook details or make careless mistakes and have a hard time with tasks that require sustained focus, like completing forms, for example. ADHD symptoms usually start in childhood, but it doesn't not only affect children, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
In Australia, the disease is thought to impact one in 20 people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that 6.1 million Americans have been diagnosed with ADHD.
In this work, the researchers wanted to know more about how genetics may play a role in the disorder. They used data from the UK Biobank, which contains genetic information from 220,685 women, to examine the correlation between six common psychiatric disorders (eating disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, autism, and ADHD) and five reproductive traits in women (their age at first menstruation, first birth, sexual experience, and menopause, as well as the number of children they delivered). Their work revealed that young mothers are more likely to have children with ADHD.
The researchers are hopeful that the study can help educate women about the risks.
Learn more about ADHD from the video above.
"The approach is twofold. Firstly, we're able to inform young women about the high genetic risk of having a child with ADHD if they give birth at a young age. This may caution and prevent them from giving birth at an immature age, which not only improves their reproductive health but also the maternal environment for their baby," explained Lee.
"Secondly, we're able to educate young mothers about the features of ADHD, such as impulsivity and inattentive behaviors, which may help mothers better recognize the condition in their child and seek treatment sooner than later. ADHD is treatable, but early diagnosis and interventions are key to a successful outcome."
There is, of course, still a lot we don't know about how the disorder arises.
"It's important to understand that while there is a clear genetic link between ADHD and young mothers, this is not necessarily a causal relationship," noted Lee. "ADHD is a highly heritable disorder which means that a young mother may also have the genes affecting ADHD risk which is then inherited by her child.
"Knowing a woman has a genetic predisposition for ADHD can be recorded in her family medical history then used to monitor her health and the health of her offspring. In this way, we're able to ensure both mother and baby receive the support and help they need."

image captionThe fire exit at Marsden House in Leeds was secured with cable ties "to keep out non-resident students", a student claims
The parent of a Leeds university student said he was "furious" that a fire exit at his son's accommodation had been tied shut with cable ties.
Marsden House on Burley Road, Leeds, is home to about 900 students.
Ryan Gleeson, whose step-son is studying at Leeds Beckett University, posted a photo of the secured gate at the halls and alerted the fire service.
IQ Student, which manages the building, said it was investigating and student safety was its "highest priority".
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said it had "resolved the issue" after attending the site on Monday.
IQ Student said the gate was "one of several escape routes from the building and is 2m away from an escape route through reception, which is staffed around the clock".
But students say the gate is also the main point of entry and exit to the halls.
Mr Gleeson's step-son, who wishes to remain anonymous, said it had been secured shut "all day every day" for four days before the ties were removed.
image captionThe adjoining turnstiles had also been blocked to stop people getting in and out, the student said
He claimed he had witnessed security guards securing the gate to keep non-residents from entering the building.
"It doesn't make us feel very safe when we're paying so much money to be here. It seems like we're paying for our own house arrest," he said.
Mr Gleeson, from Blackpool, said: "I was furious. Absolutely livid that a halls of residence where people are in party mode and will undoubtedly be drinking are put in a greater risk of not being able to find a means of escape from a building and to a point of ultimate safety.
"I understand during fresher's week students are not entirely blameless in creating a situation but this is an absolutely dangerous way to try and resolve it."
The fire service said blocking a fire exit was illegal, dangerous, "reckless and puts lives at risk".
A spokeswoman said IQ Student confirmed "they did not secure the exit" and it was working with the company "to ensure this does not happen again and to identify the individual(s) responsible for securing the exit closed".

Modi's visit to South Korea may yield economic gains, and the one to Mongolia is about projecting India's soft power. The China visit, though, will yield nothing in the short term, but a lot will depend on what leverage we develop with the US.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday agreed with Sena's criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for announcing a credit line of USD one billion to Mongolia, stating that even allies were not heard within the NDA.
Amul's latest ad puns PM Narendra Modi's visit to Mongolia.
The Sena also questioned the motive of the Prime Minister and asked why can't he show the same eagerness to help the distressed farmers of the state.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday "struck a new chord" on his historic visit to Mongolia by trying his hand at the traditional fiddle he received as a gift from Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was gifted a brown horse, Kanthaka, by Mongolian Prime Minister Chimed Saikhanbileg at the Mini Naadam sporting festival on Sunday.
Prime Minster Narendra Modi today handed over a Bodhi tree sapling at the Gandan Tegchilen monastery here, saying it was a token of friendship from the Indian people.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday gifted Mongolia a Bhabhatron, the indigenous machine developed by Indian scientists for cancer treatment, in the first demonstration of bilateral cooperation in the civil nuclear sector.
The prime minister said the agreements inked would deepen their cooperation in border security and cyber security.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday left Shanghai for Mongolia, on the second leg of his three-nation tour. It is the first visit by an Indian prime minister.


One of my values is *sovereignty* and that means respecting the rights of individuals, as well as different traditions and cultures to speak for themselves and define their boundaries. That includes Wicca. Some Wiccans are polytheists. They have explained their polytheism, though they shouldn't have to, only to have *some* (not all) polytheists explain this away.
This not mean that I accept everyone who claims the label polytheist as polytheist- I have an inclusive definition, but it still has limits, so the word doesn't become as watered down and meaningless as "pagan" has. Words can have some fluidity in meaning yes, but we need some degree of shared meaning in order to communicate. I wonder a bit if the adjective might be more helpful than the noun. I also like the Anglo-Saxon "manygodded"- it's a description, not an "ism".
Granted, there are polytheists out there that have political/ideological and theological beliefs and practices that I have serious moral objections too (racism, sexism, homo/bi/transphobia et al) But I'm not claiming their polytheism isn't genuine just because I disagree or don't want to collaborate with them.
A theistic Satanist or Luciferian might be a henotheist- who focuses worship on Satan or Lucifer within a framework of polytheism, or a more general polytheist.
Buddhism is often depicted in the West as the Super-Rational Atheist-approved No Gods Here! religion/philosophy, but in spite of it tending to be less worship focused, deities, buddhas, boddhisattvas (who are more like saints) and ancestor spirits are honored. There's also some overlap with Hinduism, and Shinto…and I will just let more knowledgeable folks explain this more.
There is a lot of disagreement about whether polytheistic monism (as found in Hinduism, some types of Neoplatonism, some kinds of Wicca) counts as "true" polytheism. Honestly, I am mostly just sick of the hostility of this debate. If theology nerds want to hash it out in a civil fashion, OK great.
One of my fellow members (indeed a founder!) of Clann Bhride, a devotional Brighidine order I belong to, is Chris Scott Thompson, and he has a well-put together explanation of polytheistic monism here on Patheos- Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. Agree or disagree respectfully with his theological views or his scholarship- in any case, he knows a lot more about Neoplatonism and Hinduism than I do, but more importantly to me anyway is that he's a great person who does a lot of good work for his communities and his Gods/spirits/ancestors. We have a quite diverse membership in Clann Bhride and hold these Nine Elements in common, but there is much room for interpretation. Devotion, ethics, and fellowship are to us what matter.
Note of explanation- March 1 is Disability Community Day of Mourning for all those infants, children and adults with disabilities killed by caregivers, parents, police- personally I'd also include anyone who committed suicide (with assistance or alone) because society told them too many times that their life was not worth living.

Step Towards NZ's Low Emissions Food Production
They're hot off the press and intended to help take the heat out of climate change. Fonterra farmers are already among the world's most sustainable producers of milk and now have an additional tool in their sustainability toolbox.
Over the last few days, Fonterra farmers have been receiving unique Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions profiles for their farms - the first time such a tool has been introduced in New Zealand at scale. The profiles form part of a Farm Environmental Report – which combines a GHG Report and Nitrogen Risk Scorecard.
Fonterra Director On-Farm Excellence, Charlotte Rutherford, said the reports are designed to provide useful insights for farmers to help identify opportunities for improvements on farm – providing indicators such as the estimated level of biological methane and nitrous oxide emissions per hectare, and the amount of emissions per kilogram of milk solids.
"One of the most important steps in improving your emissions profile is understanding where your emissions come from, and that's what this report does.
"As well as being a very practical step toward helping New Zealand meet climate change commitments, the Environmental Report supports our strategy to meet growing global demand for food that's kind to the planet.
"New Zealand milk is already among the most sustainably produced in the world, but with increasing customer and consumer motivation linked to climate change, we need to ensure we're continuing to position ourselves for the future – from both a regulatory and market perspective.
"Today 81 percent of consumers feel strongly that companies should help improve the environment1. Our customers are responding to this by setting some bold goals to reduce their emissions profile over the coming years and there's an opportunity for farmers to support them. For example, Nestlé has a target for net zero emissions by 2050 and Starbucks aims to reduce carbon emissions by 50 per cent by 2030," said Rutherford.
Once the reports are in farmers' hands, the focus will turn to implementing practical and sensible solutions to help reduce emissions.
South Wairarapa Farmer Aidan Bichan is one of around 100 farmers who took part in the original pilot in 2018. Aidan runs a 900 cow dairy farm near Featherston and says knowing his farm emissions profile prompted his team to make some practical changes, including halving the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied on farm.
"It hasn't really impacted production because we're getting more efficient use of that nitrogen. We've changed the timing and the rate of application, and we're a lot more careful about how we use it."

The latest serial killer docuseries hits a vein with Netflix subscribers
Nicholas Di Nardo Jan 7, 2022 4:36 am Jan 7, 2022 4:36 am
The newly released true crime miniseries Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer has been dominating Netflix charts as of late, finding itself on the top 10 most-watched list, per FlixPatrol.
The second season of Joe Berlinger's Crime Scene follows the serial killer Richard Cottingham, who preyed on sex workers in Times Square. He murdered at least 11 people between 1967 and 1980, when he was finally caught, but this number is low compared to the 80 murders he has claimed responsibility for.
Despite being a documentary, Berlinger decided to use recreations of events as opposed to real-life crime scene photographs, as he revealed to Variety last month.
"I don't think the crime scene photos evoke the kind of emotion that the right kind of recreation can evoke. [Photos] are flat art and I also think in some ways it's more disrespectful to the victim to use some of the more grizzly crime scene photos. I don't think recreations are right for everything, but in this genre and for this kind of storytelling, I think recreations work."
The first season of Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel was released early in 2021, exploring the real-life mysterious disappearance, subsequent death, and conspiracy theories surrounding tourist Elisa Lam at the Cecil Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. Netflix ordered three more seasons of the doc after 45 million households viewed the series in the first four weeks.
If true crime piques your interest, as it does for many viewers, you'll love this new series that explores the depravity of New York during the time period, and how the city has evolved since then.


Thread: filter for bounty tournaments?
Why can't it just look for several words in the title of the tournament, such as bounty, knockout, PKO...? I am thinking of doing that by some script for the hand histories beforehand and then making one database of non-bounty and one database of bounty tournaments, so I can analyze for differences in average strategy of the player pool, but it would be much better, to have all that in one database. Its pretty bad for notes like calling preflop allins, when you dont know, if player calling an allin with 95o for 10bb is a huge fish or it was a bounty tournament.

Spinning a story with a bit of Broadway
March 16, 2020 March 16, 2020 dougandcarlotta Reviews, Stage	Aaron Cleveland, Andrea Odle, Brad Root, Broadway, cabaret, Fat Turtle Theatre Company, Jackson Stollings, Jenn Kaufmann, Jennifer Poytner, Jessica Crum Hawkins, john, Kaitlin Holden, Linda Parr, musical, Nicole Amsler, review, revue, Richelle Lutz, Shannon Rice, steampunk, Tessa Gibbons, This Is Us: An Inspirational Steampunk Broadway Cabaret
By John Lyle Belden
These are unusual times, so here is an unusual show.
While advising all who feel unwell or uncomfortable to sit this one out, Fat Turtle Theatre is, last we heard, continuing with its production of "This is Us: An Inspirational Steampunk Broadway Cabaret."
This is a little out of the comfort zone for Fat Turtle, a company that typically does plays, as well as founder Aaron Cleveland, who as the show's Narrator is called upon to sing. But it does fit within the mission of presenting Indiana works, as the revue of Broadway songs are hung like ornaments on an original story by local playwright Nicole Amsler.
The setting and aesthetic, as noted in the title, are the alternate-history dystopia of Steampunk, with its corsets and clockworks. This helps give the whole production a familiar, yet otherworldly feel.
Cleveland recites Amsler's fable about a grieving father who devises "a machine to take all the pain of the world" and how his children strive to save him from it. Honestly, it sounds like the seed from which a great original musical could be grown.
But for now, we get an interesting selection of songs that loosely fit the theme, taken from a wide variety of Broadway shows. While some are easily recognizable, like a tune from "Wicked," and include current hits like one from "Dear Evan Hansen," there are also numbers from shows such as "Newsies," "The Color Purple," "Kinky Boots," "Jekyll & Hyde," "Mean Girls," and even a beautifully appropriate song from the underappreciated "Pirate Queen."
To deliver these song-and-dance bits, we have area talents Tessa Gibbons, Jessica Hawkins, Kaitlin Holden, Jenn Kaufmann, Richelle Lutz, Jennifer Poytner, Brad Root and Jackson Stollings. Direction and choreography are by Andrea Odle, and there is a small band of musicians, led by Linda Parr.
The result is an entertaining distraction — for a couple of hours — from current events, and the opportunity to enjoy songs even fans of showtunes don't hear every day. This gang puts their hearts into their performances — as well as a bit of humor, when Hawkins and Stollings take on a fun old standard. Actually, every individual gets a chance to stand center and shine.
The costumes, by Shannon Rice, include inventive use of blue LED wires to enhance the retro-sci-fi feel and add necessary emphasis when the circuits resemble the human heart.
There is one scheduled weekend left, March 20-21 at The Switch, 10029 E. 126th St., Suite D, Fishers (in Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy), and as this cabaret is also a company fundraiser, all who are interested, and feel up to it, are encouraged to attend, or at least consider Fat Turtle in your charitable giving.

Gregory Hancock gives fairy tales a fun twist
February 18, 2020 February 18, 2020 dougandcarlotta Reviews, Stage	Abigail Lessaris, Allie Hanning, Alyssa Henderson, Anna Williamson, Annabelle Breeden, Ashton Curry, Audrey Holloway, Audrey Springer, Ava Thomas, cabaret, Camden Lancaster, Carmel, Chloe Holzman, comedy, dance, Elli Thacker, Evangeline Meadows, fairy tale, fundraiser, Gregory Glade Hancock, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre, Hannah Brown, Hannah Winkler, Isabella Webb, Jillian Hogan, john, Josephine Meadows, Josie Moody, Megan Webb, Molly Kinkade, Morgan Beane, Olivia Payton, Rebecca Zigmond, review, Sophia Rice, Stella Kitchen, Stephanie Blaufuss, Taylor Smith, The Academy of GHDT, Thomas Mason, Vincent Kitchen, Violet Kitchen, Zoe Hacker, Zoe Maish
An issue I sometimes have with dance is that I find it hard to follow exactly what is going on, what the dancers are trying to portray — there is no such problem with "Once Upon a Time," by Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre.
The subject matter is as familiar as childhood — popular fairy tales. But Gregory Glade Hancock and his dancers have put their own spin (and leap, and…) on the stories to freshen the narrative. Like in the musical "Into the Woods," they all seem to occupy the same fanciful space, including an Enchanted Forest, in which the dancers got to work their own choreography.
Red Riding Hood (Hannah Brown) starts the stories by making her delivery. It seems Grandma appreciates the goodies so much, she just wants to dance with Red, though she does look suspiciously furry. As it turns out, the Wolf (Olivia Payton) while big, isn't so bad — despite harassing pigs — and mostly just wants to get belly-rubs from the Princesses.
Narcoleptic Beauty (Chloe Holzman) — turns out it wasn't just a cursed spinning-wheel — turns in the show's best performance, especially when constantly dancing in and out of consciousness with the Handsome Prince (Thomas Mason). She puts in moments of gracefully collapsing throughout the show, to great comic effect. As for his Highness, being the only man in the company, he has to be everybody's Prince, which does result in a chase scene or two. But the one he loves is himself, exemplified with his solo number with a hand-mirror — what a "selfie" was 500 years ago.
In other stories coming to life:
Cinderella (Camden Lancaster) sweeps through, dreaming of future happiness, but the glass that is most important to her is in the spectacles on her face, not the shoes on her feet. The Fairy Godmother (Hannah Winkler) gives her frames worthy of Elton John. But Cindy's desire to look good is greater than her myopia, with appropriately funny results.
Little Bo Peep (Josie Moody) has given up on sheep and herds the Three Little Pigs (Payton*, Winkler, and Jillian Hogan).
(*Not only ironic — playing Pig and Wolf — but I could have sworn all three Pigs were with the Wolf when he huffed and puffed them. Talk about talent.)
Rapunzel (Zoe Maish) has the strongest weave in the kingdom, which others can't resist messing with.
Snow White (Anna Williamson) shakes off the apple's effect and, with the Prince otherwise occupied, looks for love elsewhere. Seven young students don cap and beard as the Seven Dwarves (Annabelle Breeden, Ashton Curry, Violet Kitchen, Vincent Kitchen, Josephine Meadows, Isabella Webb, and Elli Thacker) — one of which also opens the show by playing the Boy in pajamas with the storybook of these twisted tales.
Pinocchio (Morgan Beane) is the Trickster character of the show. Having not learned his lessons yet, he gets his long nose into all manner of mischief throughout the evening.
As for the Witch (Abigail Lessaris), the apple isn't the only curse that's failing. Her powers have fizzled, and she dances desperately to rekindle them — but be careful what you wish for.
We are also enchanted by some fairies (Zoe Hacker, Alyssa Henderson, Evangeline Meadows, Megan Webb). The supporting cast (who also act as ushers) include Stephanie Blaufuss, Allie Hanning, Audrey Holloway, Molly Kinkade, Stella Kitchen, Sophia Rice, Taylor Smith, Audrey Springer, Ava Thomas, and Rebecca Zigmond.
This is the Hancock company's annual cabaret fundraiser, fitting nicely into the big black-box studio of the Academy of GHDT (329 Gradle Drive, Carmel, near the Center for the Performing Arts). The students don't pressure you too much to give, though there is a clever "grow Rapunzel's hair" board to track giving. There is also a free treat at every seat.
The talent and athleticism are amazing to watch, with graceful and easy-to-follow storytelling through movement. This show gives a chuckle to all ages, is an easy inspiration to youth — and reminds the casual viewer that there is more to dance than "The Nutcracker."
It's also very popular. The final performances Saturday and Sunday are sold out, but Friday, Feb. 21, has been added. Get tickets at ghdtonceuponatime.eventbrite.com. Get company information at www.gregoryhancockdancetheatre.org.
'First Date' jitters take form of advice-giving friends in Footlite musical
January 16, 2020 dougandcarlotta Reviews, Stage	Adam Gardner, Alan Zachary, Austin Stodgill, Austin Winsberg, Ben Fraley, cabaret, comedy, Darrin Gowan, DonaMarie Kelley, First Date, Footlite Musicals, Halle Catlow, Hannah Janowicz, Katherine Clarke Horrigan, Linda Parr, Margaret Smith, Michael Weiner, musical, review, Trish Roberts, wendy, Zach Hoover
By Wendy Carson
Dating — the stress, vulnerability, tension, sheer terror, and coping with it all. Is all of this worth it, to possibly find "the One"? This is the subject the Broadway musical, appropriately titled "First Date," playing at Footlite Musicals.
The show focuses on Aaron (Zach Hoover) and Casey (Halle Catlow) as they undergo a blind date, and we experience it with them, while seeing their inner thoughts portrayed by others in the cast.
Starting with drinks at the bar, it is obvious that these two have nothing in common except shared geography and a couple of friends who feel they might be a good fit for each other. Still, they are curious enough to overlook their first impressions — and Casey ignores the "bailout calls" of Reggie (Austin Stodgill), her gay bestie — to get to know each other more.
Religious differences, past relationship horrors, and even the embarrassment of their internet history are broached, yet they keep feeling out the possibility of their compatibility. Each constantly teeters on the verge of leaving, yet in their minds, Casey's sister Lauren (Hannah Janowicz) and Aaron's best friend Gabe (Ben Fraley) keep showing up to convince them to stick it out.
So, will these two make it to dinner — or maybe breakfast? Will Casey actually let Reggie's calls give her an out? Will Aaron overcome his feelings for ex-fiance Allison (DonaMarie Kelley)? Can the head Waiter (Darrin Gowan) inspire them to actually fall in love? Honestly, is any of this actually worth it?
Margaret Smith and Adam Gardner complete the cast as waitstaff and part of the mental chorus.
This being Footlite's annual "cabaret" production, audience seating is on the stage at tables of Darrin's Restaurant, adding an appropriate intimate feel. The show — book by Austin Winsberg, music and lyrics by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner — is laugh-out-loud funny, with memorable tunes including "First Impression," "The Girl For You," and "I'd Order Love." (We've heard them occasionally on SiriusXM's "On Broadway" channel.) Direction is by Kathleen Clarke Horrigan, with choreography by Trish Roberts and music directed by Linda Parr.
So good, you might want to take a date of your own, "First Date" runs through Jan. 19 at 1847 N. Alabama St., near downtown Indianapolis. Call 317-926-6630 or visit http://www.footlite.org.
IndyFringe: The Madwomen's Late-Nite Cabaret
August 23, 2019 February 25, 2020 dougandcarlotta IndyFringe, Reviews, Stage	cabaret, Cody Ricks, comedy, Dave Ruark, Devan Mathias, Georgeanna Smith Wade, IndyFringe, IndyFringe 2019, Jaddy Ciucci, Julie Lyn Barber, Main Street Artists, music, review, Shawnte Gaston, wendy, women
This show is part of the 15th Annual Indianapolis Theatre Fringe Festival, a/k/a IndyFringe, Aug. 15-25, 2019 on Mass Ave downtown. Info, etc., at www.IndyFringe.org.
From the moment that Lizzie Borden (Cody Ricks) dashes across stage to take her seat at the piano, you know that this show is anything but serious.
We then welcome our beloved hostess Ethel Merman (Dave Ruark hamming it up at his best) straight from her triumphant turn as "Annie".
Throughout the night we are privy to songs revealing aspects of these historical icons who are more misunderstood than evil.
Shawnte Gaston has a quick turn as Medusa but spends most of the show co-hosting as Eve, the embodiment of maternal energy and possibly the most misrepresented of them all. She belts out her sentiments in both "What's the Matter With Kids Today" and "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child."
Julie Lyn Barber embodies women as diverse as Typhoid Mary, Amelia Earhart, and Mary Stuart but she really stands out as Sybil singing "I Am My Own Best Friend".
Georgeanna Smith Wade gives us a hilarious look into the mindset of Procne (most people know her as Medea) but it is her sultry version of Mata Hari performing "Bang, Bang" that really shines.
Add to this Jaddy Ciucci (although on the performance I saw this role was played by Devan Mathias), portraying not only Joan of Arc, Philomela, and Ann Boleyn, but a "Physical Embodiment of a Controlled Substance" (Mary Jane) and pleadingly insisting "I'd Be Good For You"
Needless to say, these women (and characters) deserve to be seen and heard and who knows when you will get another chance to do so. Presented by Main Street Artists, remaining performances are 9 p.m. Saturday and 1:30 Sunday at the IndyFringe Theatre, 719 E. St. Clair.
Doomed 'Lady Day' lives again in Indy dive
March 20, 2019 April 10, 2020 dougandcarlotta Reviews, Stage	addiction, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Bryan Fonseca, cabaret, Dena Toler, Fonseca Theatre Company, historical, john, Jon Stombaugh, Lady Day, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill, Linebacker Lounge, Monica Cantrell, music, musical, play, race, review, Tim Brickley
It's 1959, the last year of singer Billie Holiday's life, and she is in a city she'd rather not visit, Philadelphia, at a place she loves to be. It's "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill," a Fonseca Theatre Company production hosted by the Linebacker Lounge, just a couple of doors down from Fonseca's previous venue at Indy Convergence.
The cozy confines of the Linebacker stand in nicely for Emerson's. It is a bar (but no grill, though there are delicious Mexican sandwiches next door that you are allowed to bring in) so entrance is restricted to ages 21 and up. Drink service is available before the show and a brief intermission, cash only (there is an ATM on site). But mostly, the place lends atmosphere, a small triumph of "site-specific" theatre.
As for the Lady herself, Monica Cantrell slips comfortably into a role she has played before. Holiday's distinctive voice and vocal style can be difficult to emulate, especially without sounding like a parody, but Cantrell takes it on with apparent ease — singing soulful jazz ballads and purring stories that are a blend of reminiscing and confessional. Billie tells of idolizing Bessie Smith, honoring her with a rendition of "Gimme a Pigfoot;" life on the road, especially touring the Jim Crow South; and of how she wrote her biggest hit, "God Bless the Child," for her mother, known as The Duchess.
She tells of men she loved and speaks frankly of her heroin addiction, advising patrons to watch out for "white men in white socks," the probation officers who monitor her movements after her release from a year in prison. Her mind is not entirely her own, but she'll pick up a snippet of song — "What a little moonlight can do," she smiles — to get her thoughts on track.
"Singin' is livin' to me," she says. But as she slowly breaks down, it becomes heartbreakingly apparent she doesn't have much of either left in her.
Music is provided by Tim Brickley, and Jon Stombaugh as Holiday's accompanist Jimmy Powers. Little Zoe Lee makes an adorable cameo as the singer's canine companion, Pepe. And I'm pretty sure I heard Bryan Fonseca himself as the voice of Mr. Emerson.
Directed by FTC co-artistic director Dena Toler, "Lady Day" is a beautiful biography of a troubled woman in troubled times. It speaks volumes about addiction and our racial history without preaching. Just listen to that voice, the likes of which we may never hear again, a woman who "got her own," on the verge of losing it all.
Performances run through April 7. Find the Linebacker, a sweet little spot that boasts Indy's second-oldest liquor license, at 2631 W. Michigan St. Due to its small size, this show sells out easily, so find info and tickets at www.fonsecatheatre.org.
An evening with the marvelous Melissa Schott
December 7, 2018 May 4, 2020 dougandcarlotta Reviews, Stage	cabaret, Carmel, Cory Lingner, dance, Dustin Klein, john, Magic Thread Cabaret, Melissa Schott, music, review, Scott Harris, Songs in the Key of Me, tap, The CAT, Tom Alvarez
I remember in 2005 seeing the Footlite Musicals production of "42nd Street," and being blown away by the performance of Melissa Schott in the lead role. I had no idea that — like her character, ingenue Peggy Sawyer — she had just taken her first big chance on a major stage role, and come out on top. All I knew was that she lived in New Palestine, within the coverage area for the Greenfield Daily Reporter, the paper I wrote for.
With such a talented "local" to watch, I soon saw her perfect portrayal of the legendary singer in "Always, Patsy Cline." So, it was no surprise when — again, nearly on a whim — she tried for and got entertainment work in New York.
And this year, for one wonderful weekend, she came "home," recently performing her first cabaret revue, "Songs in the Key of Me," at The CAT in Carmel, presented by Magic Thread Cabaret.
Schott said the show's title refers to how, in taking so many roles as other people, "it's easy to forget your own voice." To find those pieces of herself, she brings out the works of people who have influenced her, from Karen Carpenter to Sara Bareilles.
She set the mood by opening with "That's Life" and "Ain't We Got Fun," but also touched our hearts with Cline's hit "Crazy," as well as "Pretty Funny" from the musical of "Dogfight."
Being a classic triple-threat, Schott brought out her tap shoes for a couple of numbers, including — naturally — "42nd Street."
She shared the stage with old friend Scott Harris of Nashville on the piano, but took over the keys to start the second act, singing and playing Bareilles' "Gravity." She also invited Broadway performer Cory Lingner up for a duet of "Only Us" (from "Dear Evan Hansen").
Revealing yet another facet of her talent, Schott played a song she wrote, "Worlds Away," inspired by her longing for home while on tour.
Her musical journey had many stops that felt personal to her, including "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and "On a Bus to St. Cloud." She sang "She Used to be Mine," from Bareilles' hit musical "Waitress," then noted that she would be playing a waitress herself, briefly, on a future episode of the Emmy-winning streaming TV show "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."
Hopefully being a long-time fan doesn't make me too biased, but her charm, talent, dancing and singing are still superb. And with her residence in the Big Apple, Melissa Schott is one casting-call away from true stardom. Wherever you happen to be able to see her perform, by all means do; and hopefully, she will bring her "Songs in the Key of Me" to another stage very soon.
She closed the show with a medley of tunes from Broadway's "Thoroughly Modern Millie." A few days ago, I heard one of the songs from the official cast album, and — meaning no disrespect to a Tony winner — Schott was just as good.

'Cabaret Poe' right at home on yet another stage
October 9, 2018 May 4, 2020 dougandcarlotta Reviews, Stage	Ben Asaykwee, cabaret, Cabaret Poe, Georgeanna Smith Wade, Halloween, Jaddy Ciucci, john, Julie Lyn Barber, musical, Phoenix Theatre, Poe, Q Artistry, Rebekah Taylor, Renae Stone, review
For those who know of "Cabaret Poe," the musical exploration of Edgar Allan Poe's stories and poems by Ben Asaykwee and presented by his Q Artistry productions, know that it has returned for its 10th year with its premiere with the Phoenix Theatre on its black-box Basile stage — complete with a couple of tweaks to adapt to its space and keep it fresh.
For those who have not yet seen it, this is a perfect opportunity to experience what is becoming a local fall tradition. It started a decade ago in haunted Irvington, and has since moved to Mass. Ave. and even Circle Centre Mall. Now, in partnership with the Phoenix, it and other Q Artistry works have a new home.
Asaykwee is Zolius, the gaunt acerbic leader of his little band, including fair ladies Morella and Berenice, and a mysterious Shadow that haunts the proceedings. He also has a small four-piece orchestra to provide music and much of the atmosphere. Our women are dual-cast; depending on the performance, you may see original performers Renae Stone as Morella and Julie Lyn Barber as Berenice, or Georgeanna Smith Wade and Jaddy Ciucci respectively.
They prefer you experience the suspense of not knowing what comes next, so there is no set published program, and I won't spoil that here. Just know that many favorites will be recited and acted out, including "The Tell-tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado" and, of course, "The Raven."
Rebekah Taylor slinks her way around the stage as the silent Shadow, and even gets to interpret one piece in a featured dance.
There are a few moments of audience interaction, so it truly is a little different at each performance. Changes to the set include lights embedded in the crypt-stage, used to good effect. Asaykwee's style and his contributions to Poe's words add clever dark humor, making for a thoroughly entertaining evening. There are no major scares, just a spooky atmosphere, and TV-PG language so this show is good for tweens and older.
Tickets have been selling briskly, so act fast. The show runs through Nov. 4 at the Phoenix Theatre, 705 N. Illinois St. Call 317-635-7529 or visit phoenixtheatre.org.
'Brooklyn' comes to Footlite
January 12, 2018 May 21, 2020 dougandcarlotta Reviews, Stage	Amy Douglas, Barri McPherson, Brooklyn: The Musical, cabaret, Curt Pickard, Donny Torres, fairy tale, Footlite Musicals, homelessness, john, Kathleen Clarke Horrigan, Kendra Randle, Linda Parr, Mark Schoenfeld, Michael Davis, musical, Page Brown, Rayanna Bibbs, review, Shelbi Berry, Stephen Matters, Stevie Jones, Tristan Bustos
As it is often said, context is everything.
"Brooklyn: The Musical" has a backstory that nearly overshadows the show itself. Its creators, Mark Schoenfeld and Barri McPherson, once collaborated decades ago before going seperate ways. More recently, McPherson, who had a comfortable life in New England, came across Schoenfeld, then a homeless street musician in Brooklyn. She took him in, and inspired by his tough life, they wrote what would become this musical.
After opening in Colorado, "Brooklyn" had a nearly full year on Broadway – October 2004 to June 2005. New York critics were not kind, but Kathleen Clarke Horrigan of Indy's Footlite Musicals saw it during its final month and fell in love. After years of hunting for a way to bring the musical to Indiana, she finally has "Brooklyn" occupying the Footlite stage.
This is Footlite's traditional January "cabaret" style show, with seating right on the stage, actors and audience sharing a common space. When we arrive to take our seats, we are transported to a grubby street corner by the Brooklyn Bridge, complete with trash, graffiti and discarded humanity. One man, the Street Singer (Stevie Jones) starts to perform with a generous voice and open guitar case. He is joined by four others, hardy "City Weeds" that spring up to help present his "Sidewalk Fairy Tale."
For the most part, this show is the play-within-the-play about a Parisian girl, "Brooklyn," named for the home of the American father she never knew. After losing her mother (played by Page Brown), Brooklyn (Shelbi Berry) eventually makes her way to New York as a famous singer, with one unfinished song that only her real dad would know. Local diva Paradice (Kendra Randle) is not amused and wants this French upstart off her turf. Brooklyn accepts Paradice's challenge for a winner-take-all sing-off in hopes that this will aid her quest. But when she finds her father (Donny Torres) and learns his truth, will a happy ending to this tale be possible?
I'm leaving out a lot of details, of course, so you can discover them yourself. Dwelling on them would ruin the overall fantasia effect of the story, anyway. In the end, we truly learn who this story is about and for, which then sets the "fairy tale" as a whole in a clearer light.
The issue of homelessness permeates this story and production, but – as is true in everyday conversations – it is not directly addressed. This show won't preach to you, but does present these people's humanity, the "Heart Behind These Hands," and clues to what can bring a person down to life under a bridge. This production is also helping raise awareness and funds for the local Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention (www.chipindy.org).
Jones is a wonderful narrator with sweet voice and charisma to spare. Beautiful Berry and sassy Randle make an excellent sweet-sour yin-yang. Brown is angelic (literally) and Torres brings all the layers of his complex character. In other words, these "weeds" are a pitch-perfect bouquet of talent.
Also impressive is the look and atmosphere of the stage set by Stephen Matters, like a gritty set for "Rent" gone to seed, complete with lights and sounds (but thankfully no smells) to make you feel almost a bit unsafe. Costumes (by Curt Pickard) and props are marvels of recycling and improvisation with discarded everyday objects, oddly adding to the whimsy of some scenes.
Combine these elements with backing street people (Rayanna Bibbs, Tristan Bustos, Amy Douglas and Michael Davis) and an on-stage band led by Linda Parr, and you have one of those musicals that is as much an experience as a show. Don't be surprised if you find yourself humming an "Unfinished Lullaby" or have the words "With our tears, we water roses" tattooed to your memory.
This rare gem of an almost-forgotten musical has performances today through Sunday and Jan. 18-21 at 1847 N. Alabama. Call 317-926-6630 or visit www.footlite.org.
Incredible 'Cabaret'
November 8, 2016 July 2, 2020 dougandcarlotta Reviews, Stage	Actors Theatre of Indiana, Ashley Saunders, Ben Asaykwee, Billy Kimmel, cabaret, Carol Worcel, Cynthia Collins, Darrin Murrell, Debra Babich, Eric Olson, Jenee Michelle, john, Judy Fitzgerald, Kander and Ebb, Kenny Shepard, musical, Nicholas Roman, Nicole Bridgens, Patrick Vaughn, review
NOTE: As the Word/Eagle is in flux with the renaming and corresponding change in official website, John is still putting his reviews here.
The Actors Theatre of Indiana production of Kander and Ebb's "Cabaret" is one of those "even if you've seen it before" shows that you absolutely should see.
And if you are only familiar with the Joel Gray/Liza Minnelli movie version of the musical, you haven't seen it like this – as ATI and director Billy Kimmel opt for the "revival" version of the production. This perfectly suits the brilliant Ben Asaykwee as the randy Emcee (in the Tony-winning style of Alan Cumming).
Asaykwee struts and coos his way through the story of American writer Cliff Bradshaw (Eric J. Olson) and wayward English singer Sally Bowles (ATI co-founder Cynthia Collins) in Berlin just as the Nazis are seizing power. Collins is appropriately brash and charismatic and in great voice. Olson tackles an everyman role (though gay, or at least bisexual) with the perfect touch, our proxy to events that are at first unbelievable in a fun and entertaining sense, then chilled with approaching calamity.
Patrick Vaughn is smooth as the deceptively charming Ernst Ludwig, Debra Babich is strong yet sweet as landlady Fraulein Schneider, and Darrin Murrell as Jewish shopkeeper Herr Schultz makes you ache to know that such a wonderful man is unwilling to see the growing danger around him. Also notable are Judy Fitzgerald as working-girl Fraulein Kost, Nicholas Roman and Kenny Shepard as sensuous bookends Bobby and Victor (and other roles as needed), the BEAUTIFUL Kit Kat girls Nicole Bridgens, Jenee Michelle, Ashley Saunders and Carol Worcel (who also choreographed) and the BEAUTIFUL orchestra.
As history lesson, allegory, love story and brilliant entertainment, this show works on all levels. See it through Nov. 20 at the Studio Theatre (next to the Tarkington) in The Center for the Performing Arts, 4 Center Green, Carmel. Call 317-843-3800 or see www.atistage.org. Note there are a few table seats right next to the stage; inquire with the box office as to availability.

IndyFringe: Class, Grass and Ass
August 25, 2016 July 5, 2020 dougandcarlotta IndyFringe, Reviews, Stage	Bette Midler, cabaret, Class Grass and Ass, comedy, Debra Mullins, IndyFringe, IndyFringe 2016, music, review, Theatre on the Square, wendy
It is clear from the onset that Debra Mullins aspires to be Bette Midler. This crazy tribute to the style and sassiness of "The Divine Miss M" is her attempt to do so. From her back-up group, The Debutants (think Indy's version of Midler's "Harlettes") to her choice of songs, she does her best to invoke the diva.
While some of her attempts do fall a bit flat, the show is still entertaining. The comedy bits are great, the costuming and choreography work well, but she seems to miss some steps here and there.
For instance, the Who song, "Squeezebox" was written as "Momma's got a Squeezebox" to help hammer home the double entendre. Her change of the lyrics to "Daddy's got a Squeezebox" removes the main thing that makes this number so naughty.
Still, the show is a very good cabaret review that showcases several talents from around town that are rarely seen on these stages. So, get the girls together, grab a glass of wine, sit back and have a good time.
Performances at the Theatre on the Square main stage Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 26-28. Get info and tickets at indyfringefestival.com.

What the hell is wrong with humanity?
Always wanting what you don't (yet) have.
Trying to steer life convulsively in such a way that you hope to achieve what your ratio assumes it needs.
Pulling and dragging to such an extent that the world wrings itself through small, winding curves to eventually reach its destination via a totally different trail which you haven't even seen before.
The aquarelle of our life will eventually always be colored with a totally different set of shades than those you have foreseen on your painter's easel.
Our river of life knows its way and curves its path in the earth just as it finds its passage at that very moment. You better just go with that flow if you prefer to stay away from chaos, stress or anxiety in your life.
People actually mostly hurt themselves.
Rest assured, it happens to me just as well. Just like last Saturday.
I was so fed up with everything.
I expect so much of life. I expect so much of people. I expect so much of myself.
And nothing worked out as planned!
At least, as planned in my own head.
Giving up on everything I was working on or dealing with, was the only firm thought that kept flashing in my mind.
I felt disappointment. Deep disappointment.
I also felt restlessness. A lot of restlessness.
Restlessness which is in conflict with my inner trust, my inexplicable knowing that everything I define from the heart, always comes to me at the right time.
My problem that Saturday morning, however, was not about my indisputable trust with regards to my perspectives I throw into the Universe with a firm intention, but rather revealed itself in the three little words which were trying to remain unnoticed at the end of my sentence as if we wouldn't pay attention to them while reading.
That is the solution that brings relief to people's stress and anxiety and other polluting emotional outbursts in moments where their biggest cravings in life are not instantly fed.
Life controls "time". Life, and only life, decides on the right time that something or someone is planned to enter your life.
Life decides when something is ready and never ever will a human, even in his wildest fight, have the power to write this victory over time on his record.
Everything knows its exact hour.
People hold massive cravings and desires inside their desolate minds, expectations about their lives they instantly want to see fulfilled and not a single minute later.
When their expectations are not immediately answered, people feel deprived and become angry and frustrated and are easily taken by the stream of those complaining and nagging about 'no can do' or 'out of my league'.
Life is only as hard for them, right?
As an outsider, everything seems a lot easier. You look at these kind of happenings from a rather non-personal distance and you see everything crystal clear.
When it involves someone else's life, it is logical that not everything is handed on a silver plate.
Until things don't run the way they would like them to run in their own life.
And that's exactly how I felt last Saturday.
This column is meant for you, although I am convinced that many others will definitely do something with it as well.
All there is to know about "wanting" or "needing" is clearly written in your own story and nothing about these concepts is new to you.
For years, you have been my inspiration on my path to enlightment.
And yet, that particular moment on Saturday morning, felt to me as an exceptional moment, a deep intensification of your "knowing".
There surely is a huge difference in knowing and knowing, knowing with our brain versus knowing with our heart, you know this better than anyone else.
We all "know" what we should do, however that is not the point.
What we know does not define our life, but rather what we do with it.
If anyone is truly the example of tenacity, it is totally you. And if anyone knows how The Universe's power works, it is once again: you.
Saturday morning, however, I experienced for the first time a total sync between your knowing with the mind and your knowing from the heart.
For an eternity, you have known that we should clearly visualise our future.
How on earth could your dreams ever become reality if you don't know what you want?
You have acted upon this visualization process with all your power and conviction inside of you.
But then, afterwards, you need to let it go, no pushing, no pulling, no wrenching. Just take life as it comes along and enjoy whatever is making you feel good. All the rest you can leave aside. It offers nothing else than distress.
And yes, that is damn hard for someone who likes to have everything under control.
What a paradox! To achieve your goals, you truly must dare to dream big, know for 100% what you want, visualise what you want with a undeniable self-assuredness and explicitness … and then … then you have to let it go … !
A few years ago, I knew damn well what kind of life I wished I'd lived … and until I turned 50, I have done everything in my power to accomplish that. However, then my candle has gone out and I stopped fighting.
And then, 5 years later, you showed up. At first, I could not believe a new chance of life was upon me. I could not believe that life could make such a miraculous turn at the moment where I decided to let go of all my expectations. As of the moment I simply started to live on the flow of life.
My love, you will most likely write about that harsh difficult period, but today, I can only say that I have the exact kind of life I have always dreamed about. Thanks to you.
To be able to sail to new horizons, a ship must unleash its hawsers, leave the pier behind, sail out of the harbour and cruise into the wild ocean.
You must have the guts to leave all certainties, all securities and your full past behind while knowing that the ocean – life – will determine where it will take us and no longer ourselves.
After your deep disappointment that Saturday morning, you surrendered to this universal truth.
I saw it with my own eyes and felt it in my heart.
The only thing that is expected from us in life, is to know what we want, and then enjoy every single day and be thankful for all the wonderful things we already received.
Oh yes, just a brief aside for those of you whose candle has gone out, those of you who are fed up … right then, right at that exact moment, The Universe will send you a message.
The only thing you need to do, is to see it and to listen to it.
This too, however, is such a paradox because right at that moment we turn deaf and blind for all the beauty that is being sent to us.
I can only wish that you meet a truly tenacious man or woman who will help you to crawl out of your lethargic life, so that you can make your dreams come true … but who knows … you might as well be the one to take up this fulfilling task in life to open your beloved one's eyes.
I wish you all the strength and perseverance you need.
Well, I am grateful … grateful for all the beauty that my life, together with you, offers me … the rest … well, the rest is a welcome extra and will come when the time is right … as you describe it so to the point.
Besides knowing what you want and letting that same expectation go afterwards, there is one more advice you keep on repeating to me: being grateful!
I am thankful for everything this amazing life offers us. I am thankful for you, without whom none of this would ever have happened. I am thankful for everything around us. I am thankful without boundaries!
