bethlakshmiAfter thinking about:
- finding old college friends on the Internet
- the Baby Dolls
- an old family friend
I've combined the three and found this news clip:

T.J. Gioia is that old family friend. He, his wife, another couple, and my parents were the core mischief makers in an amateur theater group when I was a kid. As per usual, there were various other guest characters, but those 6 were the core of the Holliston Curtaintimers Sitcom, if you will. They've stayed friends through the years, although they now live in 4 different states and my parents are so very divorced.
It reminds me that, in fact, a performer's career is NOT over at age 30. :) Yes, I knew that - given that both of my own dearly inspiring dance teachers are both rocking performers and over 30 to boot... But... I suppose I've been a little glum today, given that my two best friends from college are either procreated or procreating and married or engaged... and I'm watching several hot young (not even legal to drink) talents blazing in the Baby Dolls...
Nice to remember that not only can you perform and be old... but that the Senior Follies in the article about is an All Senior Cast that makes a profit of $10,000 each year, from under a month of performances. Granted, the labor is all volunteer... but - well - I want to grow up to be T.J. and his wife Marianne - still going great guns and making cool theater performances when I'm over 70...
30? Phft. I scoff at you age 30. I'm not afraid of you... bring it on. I'll still be kicking ass when I'm 60. :P
