Attending concerts, musicals, operas and traveling half the time somehow still kept me focused on being local which was quite a Challenge this month but I made it through. I was able to visit my family, reconnect with good friends, see my music and theater idols, but still eat locally, attend public events, and volunteer in Detroit Public Schools. I mean \u2013 I got to see CHER this month! Who could as for a better May!<\/p>\n
