More big news in our household! My son Milo is a semi-finalist for the Shea’s STAGE Program, which is an intensive week of theater training that could ultimately end as our area’s nominee for the Jimmy Awards – the US high school musical theatre awards. He’s one of 8 actors nominated. ❤️

Milo picked his college! He decided on SUNY Purchase where he will be going for Theatre Design and Technology, with a focus on Scenic Design. We are so excited for him. (And yes, we are making “Milo Goes to College” stickers for him! 😄)

Back from a hockey tournament outside DC (and our last games of the season.) Daughter’s team went 3-0 in the round robin, then lost to the other undefeated team in a shootout after 1-1 tie in regulation and OT. Heartbreaking, but the girls played so well all weekend.

Congrats to the Cazenovia Chiefs for winning the OWHA U18B Southern division championship. On to the sectionals!

(Too) Comfortable

It’s time to get uncomfortable, folks. Doing the same things we have always done because they are the path of least resistance is not going to cut it anymore. The times of ignoring the bad for the little comfort benefits are over.

We are in… my family are taking part in the boycott tomorrow. We’re cutting off Amazon as best we can going forward. We’ll hopefully prioritize local businesses, but at the very least I’d imagine shopping direct from businesses online, with a priority to businesses that support our causes.

Personally, I’ve been off Instagram and Threads for all of February… and TikTok since January 1… and it’s been a really nice change. Facebook has been read only since February 1, as I run a youth hockey site and need information off that in the short term. Come April, that will go dark as well.

As the other Jason said in the article linked above… Fuck them.

Lazy winter night.

Anything Goes opened up at West last night and was amazing. Milo starred as Moonface Martin and absolutely nailed it. The singing and comedic timing was impressive. What a hidden talent! Stella played bass in the pit and sounded great all night. The entire show was top notch. Hoping they win awards!

Next game (last night), Zoey got her first varsity goal! Her teammates were so excited.

Our school’s photographer got a great shot of Zoey tonight at her girls varsity hockey game. She picked up a loose puck mid ice and beat the defense on the outside and curled in for a great shot opportunity.

These two. Our version of Statler and Waldorf. 😂
