Les Miserable

Larry has been working on his part as the villian in Les Miserable the last couple of months. We finally got to see the production last Saturday. It was put on by a company called Staged! here in the Portland area. It was awesome. I laughed. I cried. Larry was simply amazing if you don't mind a step-mother saying so. The people sitting next to us just loved him. When I told them he was my stepson, they said I must be so proud. They are right.

I just can't describe how much different this show was than all the others he has done. This cast was dedicated to making this work. It was a more professional show. All of the actors did a terrific job. Jean Valjean was stunning in his work. The entire show was in song. It was more like an opera but I could understand the words. :-) So, yes it was the best show he has been in by far.

And the day is not far away when Larry goes to the Czech Republic. He decided on Chicago for school and I am not sure how I feel about that. I know it will be great for him but he will be so far away. I know I am going to cry like a baby when he heads off to school. I love him like he is my own child. He is a fine young man. I like to think I had some influence there.

Well, gotta run. Love to all.

Piglet? Me?

I am a Piglet? I didn't know I was a Piglet.


Your Score: Piglet


You scored 13 Ego, 15 Anxiety, and 11 Agency!



"It's a little Anxious," he said to himself, "to be a Very Small Animal Entirely Surrounded by Water. Christopher Robin and Pooh could escape by Climbing Trees, and Kanga could escape by Jumping, and Rabbit could escape by Burrowing, and Owl could escape by Flying, and Eeyore could escape by -- by Making a Loud Noise Until Rescued, and here am I, surrounded by water and I can't do anything."

You scored as Piglet!

ABOUT PIGLET: Piglet is a Very Small Animal, who used to live in his own house, a nice big tree. However, after Owl's house was blown over by a storm, he "found" Piglet's house, and Piglet didn't want to tell him that the home was already lived in. So he went to live with Pooh.

WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT YOU: You are a rather nervous person, and you tend to worry about The Worst happening. You don't really feel capable of dealing with the things that life could throw at you, and so you tend to fret about it. You are one of those people who seems to think that worrying actually accomplishes something... and your friends can't help but love you for it. Your humble manner and self-deprecating ways make your friends feel good about themselves. They want to help and protect you.

Your loving friends are always trying to encourage you to be more independent, and they are right. You need to develop a bit of self confidence and stand on your own two feet.
