Aladdin and Mind Leaps

[howeird]

Here's how my mind works. I'm thinking of visiting The Philippines. One of my favorite singers, Lea Salonga, lives there when she's not on Broadway or doing Disney, she gives concerts in Manila. I look up her web page to see if she is slated for a concert there in November/December. Her web page is only current to the end of August (She's in Cinderella in Manila till the 24th). So more web searching, I find her youtube space, which includes the recording session for A Whole New World, her Disney debut as Jasmine in Aladdin. I remember my Israeli sister pronouncing the title "Ahl A-deen". Her second daughter has the Hebrew female version of the name, Adina. She was named for my grandfather, Jack.
