Marveling this morning at the joy and many moods of PURPLE.
Pretty blooms near us. Grandson Daniel and his voice coach Paul, after one of D’s recent performances as Joseph in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” here in Savannah. Purple truth. Ex-wife Donna and a purple egg. HR
“All the other colors are just colors, but purple seems to have a soul – when you look at it, it’s looking back at you.” Uniek Swain
Definitely marveling. This past Friday, Grandson Daniel opened for a three-weekend run as Joseph in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” production at the Savannah Children’s Theater.
This is a great experience for Daniel. The play is the theatre’s 2022 MainStage production, meaning there are adult, teen and child actors involved. Daniel just turned 15, and some of his adult costars in “Joseph” are professionals, brought in for the show, so he has really been learning from their expertise.

“Close every door to me, Hide all the world from me Bar all the windows And shut out the light…”
Happier times
Joseph:
I look handsome, I look smart I am a walking work of art Such a dazzling coat of many colors How I love my coat of many colors
Narrator and All:
It was red and yellow and green and brown And scarlet and black and ochre and peach And ruby and olive and violet and fawn And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve And cream and crimson and silver and rose And azure and lemon and russet and grey And purple and white and pink and orange And red and yellow and green and brown and blue!
Hamming it up HR and me with a tired Daniel after last Saturday’s matinee
Marveling at getting to see and hear Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams here in Savannah on Saturday, making her case for why she should become Georgia’s next governor.
Getting out of her car and being greeted by Savannah Mayor Van JohnsonSuch an inspiring speaker.
“I come here because I know Coastal Georgia, Savannah, you all face different challenges. We’re all in need of Medicaid expansion, we need health care in the state of Georgia fully funded so our children aren’t fighting for resources, we all need good jobs in the State of Georgia that pay a living wage, a livable wage.”
And about our recently signed-into-law insane “constitutional carry” bill which allows the carrying of concealed weapons WITHOUT A PERMIT in our state. (It should be called “criminal carry.”)
“In Georgia right now, we have a governor who is making Georgia the wild west. He is not respecting public safety,” Abrams said.
