Greg Page Announces He Is Leaving The Wiggles

Mark informed me yesterday that the Yellow Wiggle, Greg Page, was sick and may have to stop being a member of the Wiggles. I waited until I got more official news of the situation before I posted about it.

It saddens me deeply to discover today that Greg is leaving the Wiggles. We have been Wiggle fans since Emma was about two. Attending a concert in August of 2003 in St. Louis and also one in May of this year here in Kansas City.

Greg has a health condition that while not life threatening causes him to be unable to dance and sing. He will be leaving the Wiggles and handing over Yellow Wiggle duty to Sam Moran who has been his understudy.

You can watch Greg's announcement on video.

From us to you Greg, we hope you get better and we have loved seeing you with the Wiggles. Take care of yourself.

Agreed. It is sad because he is sick and you could tell he did not want to quit, but what choice did he have. You know?

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show. I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless. I read anyway. Spoilers? Not bothered. Let me give some back story here. At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine. Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar. I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly. I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper. I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing. Who knew?
