I really like musical theater but over the past several years have noticed a bad habit I have. Even after covering the pre-show publicity for local musicals and knowing I would enjoy the show, I often end up not going. (Then I regret it when I hear the rave reviews.)

Last week on Thursday and Friday, the historical society had a food stand fundraiser. I am on the board and volunteered on Thursday afternoon.
