I have callbacks for my high school production of Bye Bye Birdie for Rosie today... This is making me feel so much more confident, knowing one of my Broadway idols did the show.

I am thankful that the tech geeks out there invented the Internet and even more thankful that someone thought of YouTube, but I am most thankful that talented people like Lin-Manuel chooses to share poignant moments in his life with his fans. Thank you, you are the greatest!
