  I mentioned that School House Rock Live Jr. opened on Thursday, and that Dawney and another friend were with me on back stage crew, right? Well, now Dawney's parents have decided that because she is grounded, she cannot go ANYWHERE, including the theatre. Never mind that about 50 people are counting on her help... (not to mention the audience) no, they have to have absolute control over her. Whereas my parents won't let me quit anything I've commited to, no matter whether I want to or not. I also got myself grounded during a show weekend once... and my parents VERY reasonably started my grounding after the show ended, because they simply aren't evil enough to punish the whole cast, crew, and audience of a play for something I did. Just something to think about.
