51: Yikes, getting behind again. This day, Thursday, I got to watch a performance by my wife, Jenine. She did a great job! In addition, I watched a performance by about 150 middle school singers. It was a fun experience, and every did a good job, including our friend, the choir director, Vickie Kopistiansky. I suppose I didn’t perform anything this day, but I feel like I fulfilled the requirement by trying to be a gig buddy for Jenine.
52: Cooking dinner, driving for houses, some wine, and cards. Fail on the performance front.
53: Went to a performance of “Ernie” based on the life of Tiger’s radio announcer Ernie Harwell. All of the Lawson brothers were there, and I know they enjoyed it from a nostalgic perspective. I could appreciate what they felt, although it was hard for me to relate directly given that the only time I watched the Tigers prior to moving to Detroit was when they were playing the Yankees. It was a nice play, though. To be honest, I didn’t perform anything today either. In baseball terms, I think you call this a slump.
