We were just reading a report on MSNBC that the stars of Zach Efron and Vanessa Hudgens may be holding out for more money if there is a High School Musical 3. This is the start of things to come as cast members gain fame and forget how and why they got there. The kids who love these characters do not understand the business of Hollywood and it would be tragic to let the kids stars ruin the rest of the casts ability to carry on. More to come.

I am sure Danny and Sandy would have never made such a request.

Based on the popularity of Disney’s hit High School Musical 2 this could be the “Grease” for the new millennium. A reported 200 million people have seen the first High School musical and the second is well on it’s way to breaking those records. There are already plans to have a movie and additional follow-ups to this hugely successful. My kids love this show and have the first one on DVD and will sure to get the newest one when it comes out along with the music CD. While I see the story line continuing it could make for some interesting times as the characters get older. Do you introduce new characters, or just let the story  line end once they all head off to college.

Winning

We have included an excerpt from a poem that I received over 15 years ago. I do not know who the author is but I read this almost everyday:Winning is helping someone who’s downIt’s sharing a smile instead of a frown

It’s giving your children a hug by the fire

And sharing the values and dreams that inspire

It’s giving your parents the message ” I care

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for being so fair”

Just some positive words for our readers!
