*The actors are not payed
* Volunteers build the sets.
*Sunday school kids cater.

Sure enough, ever since the maiden journey Jayden continually asks if Daddy is going to take her biking. This morning he took her on an extra long ride which included a stop at Starbucks -- great bonding time for them and an excellent reprieve from mom duty for me (Zach was sleeping).
