Yes, he is! Not to mention very sweet! See what you missed....Sos and I missed you too!

So what is up with Sheila and the trumpet? Was she actually playing?

She seems to be able to play any and all instruments...it's amazing.

thanks. I really thought I was gonna be there, but my travels plans had to change. I had a early Christmas celebration with my family that night because I couldn't be home for the actual holiday. So I missed it for a good reason!

right.....!!!!

Is it just me or does she look a lot like Debbie Allen as she's getting (relatively speaking) older? Especially in a few of those pics, she looks a lot like her.

LAWD! Peter Michael is fine!


Sheila looks amazing for 47!
