LETS GO PAINTSVILLE!

I can't believe I am saying this. I hope I don't offend those of you who went to high school with me, but I did recently attend a Paintsville Middle School football game and, yes, I cheered for Paintsville. I don't want you to worry. I bleed the black and gold of Johnson Central and I have no new found love for our evil cross town rival known as the Tigers....but....I do have an invested interest now in Tiger sports. Let me explain. As Amanda has posted, we are staying with the May family in Allen, KY, while we are teaching drama workshops to schools across Eastern Kentucky. Their daughter, Victoria, is a cheerleader for Paintsville and we went to see her cheer her very first game. We went with her parents, Frank and CHeryl, as well as her sister Kelly and Kelly's husband Steven. We were also with her grandparents, David and Lois. Before the game started, David allowed us to take his corvette for a little spin. I decided to pay my stepfather, Brad, a quick visit with a quick trip to Tutor Key. We got the corvette back safely and enjoyed the game. Paintsville won and Victoria did great. I did my best to give her a hard time during the game heckling and yelling. I even wore a Paintsville Cheerleader t-shirt. She, however, refused to break under the pressure. We had a great time with the May family as we always do. In case you are wondering, Amanda has handed over the blog duties to me for one night only. Don't worry, she will take over once again after the next couple of posts. I hope I make her proud.
