The dancers were again in Las Vegas where the pool was cut to 37. We actually didn’t see much dancing; the show was more about the audition process, part of which had the dancers choreographing a routine. I wondered why,…

It’s October. The foothills are draped with color. The kind of colors that folks apparently book bus trips to drive through Vermont to look at. I just have to raise my eyes to the horizon to take in a rainbow…
