This Is It

With my Thursday night unexpectedly free, and a sitter already booked for the baby, I decided to take son Ty to see Michael Jackson’s film, This Is It.  Ty has been wanting to go ever since we heard they were making the film and tonight we finally had the chance and it was wonderful.  Better [...]
