Review with Sea Witch

Little Mermaid and Ursula the 14-headed Sea Witch

Last week my daughter (see green arrow) was one of the 14 heads of Ursula the sea witch in the Middlesex Theater Camp production of the Little Mermaid. The main mermaid was played by a teen who went to school with my middle son, so we “sort of” knew her (at least my daughter and middle son know her). Tomorrow is the final production of my daughter’s summer; they are putting on Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. My daughter is one of Veruca Salt’s sisters. She needs to act snotty and rich and put on a British accent. Veruca is played by our friend’s daughter, so that’s exciting, too.

On My Blog

I intended to post some photos of our trip to Princeton, New Jersey, but that didn’t happen this week. So coming up… at least a post or two about architecture and art in Princeton.

One Hundred Equals Twenty

Leora Presents 100=20 While Kindergarten Son Hides Under Table

Way back over ten years ago, my then kindergarten age son and I were supposed to do a presentation to the rest of his class on a topic related to the book of Breishit. However, my ever social son never took a class with Janice Tomich on presentations skills, so he hid under the table. Instead, I gave the presentation myself.

It seems I started to blog about 100 20 and 7 back in 2008, but I never completed the post. Can anyone explain in the comments how 100 equals 20?

Thanks!

Squash, Avocado, Garlic, Cantalope – Sepia, Painterly, Pixelated

I took my photo of Kitchen Shelf and made it sepia. Therefore, it qualifies for Sepia Scenes.

Then I decided to make a pixelated version.

I added some extra color to the garlic, cantalope, avocado and butternut squash – calling this one painterly.

Kitchen Shelf – First of Month

Starting a new theme this month, I plan to photograph a shelf in my kitchen where I store fruits and vegetables that don’t need refrigeration. I expect it will change each month, and maybe in the process I’ll learn a little about photographing indoor subjects.
