My newest music student, a watonai whom I've named "Rhiannon," arrived from Oahu this afternoon. Promethea and Rhiannon quickly became BFFs! Thea is SO much happier with a companion!

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.

We're after the same rainbow's end --
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.
