Rejection is always painful. Just walked a relative through a type of rejection–by siblings–and the olive branch he held out was quite thrashed by it all.
“Trouble in River City.” It dates me, but I remember that line! A little ditty by Robert Preston in “The Music Man.” Funny how those silly songs stuck. 🙂
Oh what mixed memories that brings back! I was going to play Robert Preston’s part in a church production some 30 years ago, but the lady who was to produce and direct moved to another state and there was no one else qualified to take her place. *sigh* To this day, though, I can still sing every song he sang in “The Music Man.” “Marion the Librarian” was another favorite of mine. 🙂
Ooooh! Very nice…but sounds like “trouble in River City” for someone!
