Tonight I have tickets for Wicked which is in town for a few weeks on its Broadway tour, so that should be a lot of fun. Then Saturday I get to go home for spring break, which is a gift in itself.

Why did your family part with Cocoa? I never really had any pets growing up. I think my parents had their hands full with me!

Someday I would love to get a dog, though. I love dogs.

Sounds like a plan. I hope you have a good time at the show. I have never heard of that one before, but then again, I do not really keep up with Broadway shows. I assume you are driving back to New Jersey. When I lived in PA, I was always amazed at just how WIDE the state really is. Generally people talk about how big Texas is and it is a big state but driving across PA is underrated as far as long drives go.

Cocoa had this problem with pissing all over the house. I don't know if he felt the need to mark everything or what, but no matter how much he got walked he'd still do it. We have hardwood floors in my house and when they started to get damaged my dad flipped out and Cocoa left. But, the good news is, the woman who fostered him before we adopted him leapt at the chance to take him back so he moved with her out to Utah, where I think she still lives. He was a really neat little dog - he had the funniest old man howl - just couldn't stop peeing in the house.

Rocky never really warmed up to him, either. They didn't fight or anything and they'd play a lot, but I always had the feeling the Rocky was waiting for him to leave.

Silly dogs.

PA is a ridiculously wide state, I agree. I live as far west as you can be and still be in NJ and it still takes about 6 hours to get home, with good traffic and weather and all. We drive to Michigan every year, too, and it seriously feels like as soon as you get through PA, the trip might as well be over.

Hm. Sounds like Cocoa had a little problem with incontinence in his later years. :\

No kidding. Where in Michigan do you go? Do you have family there? I grew up in Michigan.

WOW!!!

I posted to this thread, but this is a whole freakin' bulletin board.

Who knew this thread would take off like this!

Maybe we should have a whole firefly dating board.

I don't think Cocoa was incontinent...I think it was a conscious decision. Only he knows why!

Geez, the similarities continue!

I have a lot of family in Michigan. My mom grew up in Detroit and her sister still lives in the area and my dad grew up in Kalamazoo and his mom and sister still like there and his brother is nearby. Plus we have a cottage on a lake up north that we go to every summer. So, yeah...I'm very attached to the state of Michigan.

And...happy conclusion to your birthday.

I hope it was wonderful! Try to have some fun this weekend, don't work too hard!

Kalamazoo.

When I was in high school, a guy in my chemistry class had a button on his backpack that said "Yes, there really is a Kalamazoo". It is am amusing name for a town. Hell, Michigan is another one. So funny.

I grew up in East Lansing. Go State!

Please tell me you are not a U of M fan. :\

I hope you had a good time at the show and whatnot yesterday.

How does it feel to be a year older? I hope you have a fun Spring Break too. Enjoy them now. When you finish school, there is no such thing anymore.

Yeah, the state is full of goofy names for things. Not that PA (or NJ, for that matter) aren't!

No, not a U of M fan. I suppose I haven't taken sides, my family is pretty clearly divided.

I am, however, considering U of M for grad school. Forgive me!

The show was AMAZING. I laughed, I cried, I clapped, I sang. Just extraordinary. It was a really wonderful night. Nice to celebrate my 21st without the obligatory vomiting and hangover.

My age is catching up with me, though. This morning I got up and my old bones creaked.

Not long now and they'll have to put me in a home!

Well, I cannot tell you where to go to school (U of M is evil...)

Of course, I grew up near MSU and my father used to teach there (retired now), so I have been a fan for as long as I can remember.

I am glad the show was good.

Always a plus when something lives up to expectations. And I am glad you did not partake in those silly "rites of passage" that cause the unecessary deaths of so many 21 year olds.

Hm. No complaining about your age since I am older than you. You can only complain about your age to people younger than you.

It is kind of funny, though, how there are some things that I just cannot physically do anymore that I could easily so just a few years ago.

Hey, there's another one - my grandfather used to teach at Western Michigan U.

Chin up...I'm sure there's lots of other neat stuff that comes with growing older. Like wisdom - or at least a better understanding of how much you don't know.

Plus getting to use words like "whippersnapper."

Want to get even stranger? My father did part of his graduate studies at Western Michigan. Freaky!

Well, I am not that old yet.

Heck, I am only in my 20's. I just like to complain like I just turned 40.

What am I going to do when I actually do turn 40?!

Have a nice holiday.
