One of the nice things about having a son who likes to act is the lack of competition. Four boys tried out compared to 20+ girls. Needless to say, almost half the girls play male roles and my son gets lots of lines.

A few weeks back the Ashland Middle School put on a play called “Twentieth Century Broadway” which was actually about five mini-plays including The Grapes of Wrath, The Crucible, Hair, and others. It was a musical.

I’ll post some more photos from the show tomorrow.

One of my favorite views in town is from the Ashland Middle School. I took this picture from inside the school looking out to the north. If I was a student I would not be able to do anything but stare out the windows–especially this time of year when things have gone green. We only get a few months of rich green before summer turns much of this view a duller, brownish color.

A view from Ashland Middle School… This is the track with Grizzly Peak in the background. I took this picture on the way in to see a volleyball game. On the way out I took basically the same shot. The other photograph looks very different, however, as the sun was setting, the clouds were mostly gone, and the lighting and colors were all changed. I’ll post that picture sometime in the future.
