Five Times the Challenge

I've got about two more days worth (after this).  Then back to the scheduled program.  Having something to write every day has been really nice and I hope to keep the habit up.

27. Foreign: The first time someone called her Kate Miller she almost forgot to respond.
35. Hold my Hand: All she could do for her fellow officer was sit by them as they bled out, waiting for the ambulance that would be too late.
37. Eyes: The stranger’s slight accent and grey eyes were delicious but when he introduced himself she knew she had found family.
64. Multitasking: Look at the traffic ahead, check either lanes for merging, remember which roads are busy, when each school gets out, where the passenger wants to go, all while making pleasant conversation.
67. Playing the Melody: Carefully she picked out Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star on her aunt’s piano as the older woman played circles around her, their harmony filling the quiet afternoon.
71. Obsession: Her father always teased her that she had been in love with cars from infancy and it was true, her favorite teething toy was a detached stick shift.
72. Mischief Managed: The only thing that kept the four cousins from relieving their boredom via pranks on Joe Cassop was Aunt Belle’s threats of no peach turnover and hard time cleaning the house.
74. Are You Challenging Me?: Ironhide bristled and Sam cringed; was the Sec Def suicidal?!
93. Give Up: Sam’s mother sighed and kissed her husband on the forehead. “You know she’s not going to stop asking for a puppy. She is our daughter after all.”
94. Last Hope: “Mr. Bertolli, this is Siobhan Capall calling in Donnie Capall’s favor, I need your help.”
95. Advertisement: “There has got to be someone hiring!”
96. In the Storm: A tiny blonde form flung herself into the safe bed of her parents just as the second thunder crash shook the house.
97. Safety First: Honestly, some passengers were so fussy; she saw the red light!
98. Puzzle: Curious George was a very strange monkey, young Samantha decided; who else would want to eat a puzzle peice?

Half tomorrow: 20, 21, 24, 28, 29, 33, 34, 38, 39, 50-52, 56, 65, 66, 68, 69, 75, 78, 83, 85, 88

I am watching the 25th anniversary Les Miserables finale and fangirling.  It makes me so happy to see the original cast and hear Colm Wilkinson sing!  And what is even better is the joy he obviously finds in singing the songs again and the reaction from the crowd when his voice rolls over them.  His grin is infectious.  Many performers seem to turn their backs on a role once they are done with a run and appear very condescending or stiff if asked to reprise it for a tribute.  When you have done something amazing enough to be asked back you should be honored and embrace what is now a part of your identity.  Colm appears to have done that, besides looking like a teddy bear and favorite uncle anyways.  I love his voice and the emotion he puts into his part.  The only thing that would make the tribute better is if Philip Quast from the 10th anniversary performance was there.  But I plan on doing a more detailed review and comparison of the Les Mises later.  :)
