The "Fire" dance on Friday was perfect.  Rick Malambri star of Step Up 3 was the special guest, and he was amazing.  Visiting with us in the kitchen, he said he'd come and visit the new dance team YA is sponsoring at Horace Mann Middle School.  Totally unexpected.  Really, really nice guy. Full of hugs for all, and patience for endless photographs.  He drove himself to the event.  No entourage.  He had a Pinkberry with the production team, and ate a cupcake. Said it reminded him of when he was young, which must have been yesterday, in Florida, when people still had safe things to do. 

Jordan and Chase did an excellent job checking for chewing gum, bit there was still the fun time scraping gum off the floor at the end of the evening.  Warm green gum.  We have now amended our bag search policy.  No weapons, no alcohol, no drugs, and no gum.  This should be the worst of our problems.  Love and huge, Brook & Debbie
