I am Waiting for Guffman!

I’ve talked about being in a community theater play.  The other night, my friend Suzanne, our director, told us that a friend of hers, a professional actor and playwright in New York,  is coming to see our show.  He’s currently writing a show that he’s done readings for producers etc. as he tightens it up; [...]

I am SCREWED for rehearsal tonight!

We’re supposed to be off-book.   I had the best intentions about doing nothing but learning my lines for the past two  nights.  Then this happened and that happened and here I am!  4 hours until rehearsal and I only know half of Act I and a few pages of Act II.
Time to panic!

Wait…
…my friend Suzanne, [...]

Rehearsals for You Can’t Take It With You:

I thought I’d show you a couple of pictures I took at rehearsal last night.
“What!” you say.  “Who wants to see that?  I came here because I thought you’d talk about interesting like that Vick post or updates on the big sites–”
But remember, I just got a new camera phone, so I’ve gone back [...]

With all the Michael Jackson music playing…

… as a tribute to him since he died, why don’t they ever play Ben?
What, you don’t know the MJ song Ben?  Well, here you go!

There it is: a ballad about friendship, about outcasts now being less lonely when the world is against them.   So why isn’t this on the airwaves [...]

Let’s have fun with LOL Celebs!

Time for some laughs!

And now, to bid us farewell as I end this post….

Magic Meets Trip Report

John and I arrived for the long weekend on Thursday night, later than we thought after John used a “shortcut” to get to Commodore Barry Bridge.  We knew our friends Carol and Gary were already there at the same place where we were staying, and as we guessed, they weren’t just in the same section [...]

The Eagles sign Michael Vick.

I’m really torn over this news.  Anyone who knows me understands what a big animal lover I am.  I have my own pets and I volunteer with 2 animal shelters.  So you can imagine how I felt when I heard the news about what Vick had been caught doing.
“Cruel” is a word we overuse.   I [...]

Birth of a Mickey lamp!

This post has everything!  Men!  Doing Manly Things!  With Power Tools!
Actually, this is the second time this had to be done since the first time, as our friend Gary said, “the rodent got his head smashed”.  So it’s actually a Born Again Mickey Lamp.
Mickey lamps got popular at campgrounds a few years ago when someone [...]
