Brush with Fame!
Woody got, as she so often does, the challenge to last week's NPR sunday puzzle, along with a few thousand other folks, but this time she got picked to play the puzzle "on air"! They called Thursday, and taped the segment Friday. The picture, of course, is Woody on the phone with the NPR producer, getting ready (after that, Max and I hid at the other end of the house so that we wouldn't make any unnecessary sound). You can see the description of last weeks puzzle and next week's challenge here, and you can listen to Woody's performance starting about noon eastern time (if you didn't catch it on the radio).

Also, Max auditioned! His first formal audition, for Wizard of Oz (as a munchkin, of course). They learned a few dance steps, sang, said their names for the camera, they'll call us after the next open audition on Wed. Oh, and I forgot my camera, but Max's first audition went quite well: he was focused and did a good job, for five years old. Certainly one of the better boys in his age/size range.  ¶ Sunday, August 12, 2007
