It's been an impressive season on So You Think You Can Dance.

Prayers for Monica Smith Malone, and Nolan and sister Sydnie. So sad to read about the arrest of Curtis Malone.

My next door neighbor's 19 year old son died last night. I spent part of the afternoon today in her kitchen, reminiscing about her incredibly smart (U. Penn), talented (cellist), and generous son. One of Alex's last wishes was to make sure that a young kid he had befriended in West Philadelphia got a cello, a bow and some cello lessons. His mom and I worked on that project some this afternoon.
I'm going to hug my kid a little tighter tonight.

How heartbreaking. He sounds like a wonderful young man. My condolences and heartfelt vibes to his family and all who knew and loved him.
