“Let no one think that flexibility and a predisposition to compromise is a sign of weakness or a sell-out.” Paul Kagam Have you ever planned to go to an event that is specifically geared toward your child, only to discover that your child has no interest in going? I bought our […] “Although one may fail to find happiness in theatrical life, one never wishes to give it up after having once tasted its fruits.” Anna Pavlova I’ve never thought of Pip as an actress. She doesn’t seem to enjoy drama, which has been quite a relief to Big […] “I enjoy convalescence. It is the part that makes the illness worthwhile.” George Bernard Shaw
Pip has caught a summer bug. No, it’s not a grasshopper in a jar, it’s a sore throat and a runny nose. We were supposed to attend a big family […] “A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks.” Charles Gordy
