fun in NYC this winter?

got the following email this morning from a friend in memphis:

Hey, you might want to check out the website of one of your former White Station classmates,
Jonathan Ross! He's doing his one man show, Walking in Memphis, in NYC beginning around Thanksgiving.
Even tho I don't personally know Jonathan, his dad, David Ross, has been my insurance agent for
the past 20+ years and he's a super guy. I guess you heard that his mom, Jane Ross (who owned and
managed her own tutoring service in Memphis), died of a stroke about 18 months ago.
Anyhoo............thought you might want to check it out, since you are so close to NYC!

intrigued, i googled jon's name, and the best bio i found it near the bottom of this page... while not someone i knew well in high school or someone i've kept in touch with since, jon was in my homeroom and various other classes throughout high school... he was already a talented actor in HS, and it looks like he's made a fantastic name for himself since (not that anyone who interacted with him in the last 5-10 years wouldn't expect it)... anyhow, i'll have to track the show down when it comes back to NY (i found nothing but amazing reviews of it while searching just now), and i'll have to convince a few people to come along. :-)

cheers for past acquaintances doing really cool things with their lives?
