Hairspray...the movie

I took my wife and daughters to see the movie Hairspray , but when I got up to the ticket window I suddenly forgot what it was called and asked for four tickes to Conditioner.  When the clerk looked at me funny I said, "I mean Mousse...uh...Dippity Dew." I know; it was embarrassing, to say the least.  The movie was great.  I came out of the theater ready to dance, which, of course, made my teenage daughters swear they didn't know me.

Speaking of dancing, I'm heading to the SCBWI National Conference in L.A. in a few weeks.  My writing pal and sometimes costume designer, Tina Nichols Coury, is making me a costume for the Dance by the Pool Extravaganza.  She better not make me look like a chick.  Anyway, I'm looking forward to attending a writing workshop or two and generally hanging out.  Greg

Greg Trine is a truly inspirational writer and speaker. When he visited my class, he captivated my students with stories of his challenges and successes as a writer, inspiring them with lessons of perseverance and encouragement. The activities he worked on with them showed how they could embody traits of character just as noble and just as funny as Melvin Beederman's. He was very entertaining, and the evil laugh contest was a hoot!
