Will Jason Varitek be a candidate for the Hall of Fame?

Long day for E
So today is that annual day. The Duke Ellington Jazz Nutcracker is put on each year the first weekend in December, and for the third year in a row, E is in the company of children, so, after being at the theater for last night's openning performance for a 6p call and getting home after 10, she has a ballet lesson at 10 for an hour, followed by a ( Read more... )
