This past Friday night at work, my co-worker Lee and I were chatting. Lee asked me what I was doing on Saturday. I told him that my husband and I were planning on seeing Dreamgirls. At this point, a cashier team member was doing some shopping in the same aisle we were working in. She was a young, black girl. She turned to me and said, "Oh, I saw that." Lee asked her, "So, what did you think?" She said, "Oh, it was good but there was a lot of singing." Oh, the irony.
Anyway, I went to see Dreamgirls today. Jennifer Hudson is the new owner of "And I am Telling You." Yeah, Jennifer Holiday owned it for a while. Nope. Not anymore. Ms. Hudson just took the song and owned it. It was such a moment in time. I cried. My husband teared up. He said he felt the pain. There were white people in the theatre cheering and talking to the screen during the song. It was that good. I would go again just for that song. Later.

I hope that your new year is going good.
Work must have quietened down for you now.
I hear the NYC weather is still mild for the time of year.

Hey Kevin,
NYC weather is downright scary... something is definitely wrong when it's in this warm on January 6th. I hate to even think of the repercusions.
