Hey Kimmy-girl. What's up? Not to much here in London. Your song/email got me to thinking about all of us not being in the same place at the same time and I really miss that. Okay but what that email really got me to thinking about is how much you need a song back. So here's my song. It's Zero to Hero from the Disney movie Hercules.

Bless my soul
Zack was on a roll
Person of the week in evry Grove opinion poll
What a pro
Zack could stop a show
Point him at a stage and you're talking SRO
He was a no one
A zero, zero (Not very likely)
Now he's a honcho
He's a hero
Here was a kid with his act down pat
From zero to hero in no time flat
Zero to hero just like that

When he smiled
The girls went wild with
oohs and aahs (Every girl loved me. What can I say?)
And they slapped his face
On ev'ry vase
(on ev'ry "vahse")

From appearance fees and royalties
Our Zack had cash to burn (Yeah next time remind me not to burn the money)
Now nouveau riche and famous
He could tell you
What's a Grovian urn? (Yeah I could tell you to go ask Billy)

Say amen
There he goes again
Sweet and undefeated
And an awesome 10 for 10
Folks lined up
Just to watch him flex
And this perfect package
packed a pair of pretty pecs

Zacky, he comes
He sees, he conquers
Honey, the crowds were
Going bonkers
He showed the moxie brains, and spunk
From zero to hero a major hunk (Who me? But of course)
Zero to hero and who'da thunk

Who put the glad in gladiator?
Zachary!
Whose daring deeds are great theater?
Zachary!
Is he bold?
No one braver
Is he sweet
Our fav'rite flavor
Zachary, Zachary ...

Bless my soul
Zack was on a roll
Undefeated
Riding high
And the nicest guy
not conceited

He was a nothin'
A zero, zero (Not bloody likely. Great I'm sounding like a brit.)
Now he's a honcho
He's a hero

He hit the heights at breackneck speed
From zero to hero
Zack is a hero
Now he's a hero
Yes indeed!

Okay so there it is. And don't hate me if its true. But you guys love me anyway. I love it here in London. And I can't believe I made it to the London Ballet Company. But now I'm teaching in the Academy. And I'm loving it. I now know why you guys love teaching kids. It is so cool to watch them grow because I'm teaching them. Okay so now I'm way off topic. Guess what?! I'm coming to Cali. soon. I don't know if I'll be around AG. but I know for sure I'll be around LA and SF. I'll email you guys when I'm sure of the dates. Hope we can get together while I'm over there. Okay so I have a class to teach in a few so I got to go stretch, something I'm sure your use to. Talk to you later.

Miss you so much,
Zack

P.S. I don't have time to email everyone right now so would you please email everyone and tell them what I'm doing and that Kat says hi. Did I forget to say that we're teaching together. We teach the pas das duex which in case you don't know means a dance for two. I'll tell her to email you all soon. Bye girl.
P.S.S. Here's Kat's email in case anyone wants it. PCPinkKitty@LBA.com
