Fundraising and Chick Fil A

December 1, 2011

I’m on a rant. A few years ago a friend of mine told me that his band was playing a charity gig and he wanted to let me know, so I could attend. It coincided with a carnival which had rides, games of chance, etc, etc… The problem was that the charity was for something [...]

It’s a Wonderful Life

November 22, 2011

Deb and I are co-stage managing “It’s a Wonderful Life.” You know, that sappy sentimental Christmassy classic that starred Jimmy Stewart? Yeah, the stage version of that. And it is sappy.

It’s a wrap on Rocky Horror

October 30, 2011

I am tired. Last night’s midnight performance was sold out, exhilarating and exhausting. Getting home at 3am, showering, removing the remains of Dr. Scott, and then getting up to do it all over again. Also some sadness as today’s 2pm show is the last in the run.

It is the process of not knowing and relying on google (or any search engine) to answer your questions and “fill in the blank.” But even when you search for answers how deeply do you read the pages and pages of results?

Reheating Coffee and the Online Personality Test

October 11, 2011

I just poured out the last bit of yesterday afternoon’s pot of coffee. People are sort of funny about coffee. Each of us coffee drinkers has a philosophy about it. Connoisseurs brew a pot which comes from freshly ground beans. It brews directly into an insulated carafe and if you have a heating pad that [...]

Today was my first day on the set of Army Wives. Don’t know if you are familiar with the show, but it is basically a Desperate Housewives, but the husbands are Army dudes. The show is on Lifetime and is starting filming of the sixth season. I posted about this on Facebook and had some [...]
