Almost Blue

Two songs stood out: "Indoor Fireworks" and "Red Dirt Girl." We are sad to have been present for an excellent concert that we missed. (Ravinia on the lawn is no way to see or hear an artist.)

Looks like fun

Okay, what do you think of this?

The object is to state the main plot of the episode introduced. The introduction begins with one player's descripiton of the opening scene. The rest of the players then have the opportunity to come up with the plot description. The scenes are then described in order until one of the other players comes up with the plot. The players are given an adequate amount of time after each scene description to come up with the plot description. Judgement as to whether or not the given plot descripiton is correct can be a group decision. One point is accrued for each scene description needed, and five points deducted for a correct guess. The player with the least amount of points after a given number of rounds wins. A round can be when each player has had a shot at an introduction, just one introduction and solution, just one introduction, or when the players just want to quit.

Clearly, the player introducing an episode must know it well enough to describe its scenes in sequence. The more detailed and colorful the descriptions, the better. This should be part of the fun. Yeah, that's right, I said fun, dammit!

They just aren't even pretending anymore

Really nothing to add

Emergency Info. in Mobile Telephone

Under "ICE" (for "in case of emergency") in your cell phone numbers list, save the telephone number of the person you want emergency personnel to call if they come upon you in a drunken stupor. That way, you won't necessarily be hauled off to jail (unless you give them Daddy's number; he'll encourage them take you).

"Heaven Can Wait" No""Homo Innuendo"" Proven

Heaven Can Wait, No Homo Innuendo Proven

Despite a puzzling inquiring telephone call before Saturday night's excellent performance, the brave actors and intrepid behind-the-scenes participants in the second public showing of Kudzu Productions' Heaven Can Wait soldiered on undeterred. This reviewer, long familiar with the mindset of folks who make such inquiries, aware of their "common" (in at least two senses. Agatha) lack of familiarity with the American canon and possibly closely related to one of their ilk, couldn't help chuckling inwardly when Murray Sarkin, as Max Levine the fight manager, actually touched--quelle horror-- Joe, aka Farnsworth,(Greg Fitzgerald). Your dutifully vigilant reviewer listened intently for gasps or more vehement exhibitions of shock, but unable to detect any over the ribald roars of raucous laughter, assumes the homophobe caller either, 1. Stayed home reading Harlequins or 2. didn't find the male touching unacceptable and went home thinking maybe "that weird stuff" wasn't so bad after all.
Seriously, Heaven Can Wait is a good show, a fine evening's entertainment, and well worth the fifty bucks--or whatever.
Especially notable was Bob Smith as the smarmy, slightly slimey, albeit incredibly charming and handsome Tony Abbott. One was reminded of various Cary Grant/Tony Randall/David Niven performances.
Everybody else in the cast done good too.
Kudos to Kristen Smith who served as Stage Manager/Production Assistant and coordinated lighting and sound with admirable aplomb. Without her expertise, the show would have lacked a certain amount of atmosphere and cohesion.
The show will run through August 20, every Friday & Saturday night. Some Thursdays and one Sunday matinee. Inquire at box office for times and prices.-30-

Problem with adding comments?

Is anyone else having a problem with comments not showing up on the page? I added a comment under koALa's most recent untitled diatribe (j/k), which would be the second comment under the post. However, it isn't showing up on my page, even after refreshing the browser. Here's the wierd part: If I go in to add a comment to that thread, my previously entered comment shows up on the left side as having been entered.

Is my comment visible to anyone else? (It describes some side effects to the current experimental script that Pert is using.)

koALa & Pert's plans for the future incompass:

Selling the Indy house.
Paying off Mayo, Jacksonvlle. (They did not accept Medicare assignment.)
Paying off all other debts.
Having walk-in shower installed for Pert.

Then we will have no mortgage, car, furniture, medical or other debts.
All the big medical expense has taken place already and should be minimal in future.
We can live just fine on our incomes from P's pension, P's Social Security and my Social Security.

There will be Home Health Care available, paid by Medicare, I think, if we need it.
If we become destitute, there is always Medicaid.

Please relax your minds and don't worry. We are happy and day to day living is good.

All those jokes about the double wides were just that; jokes. (Is that the correct use of a ;?)
I wouldn't wish rural living on you guys, although there are lots of good things about it for us.
All that said, I still promise to call David to come live with us if it becomes necessary. You are all wonderful people and we are grateful for you, born kids, in-law kids, grandkids.

Bette Logan!

For anyone that cares, but does not yet know, I'll be in "Heaven Can Wait" at a local (Roswell, GA) theater, Kudzu Playhouse, beginning this weekend. The show runs every Friday and Saturday night at 8:00 for six weeks (through August 20) . There is also a Sunday matinee on August 7th, and Thursday evening shows on August 11th and 18th. More information is available here. Tickets can be reserved via email or phone. I'm not sure how necessary reservations are, but the last Saturday night show that I saw there was nearly sold out.

I really get to be an EvaDewer, in that I play Tony, the murderous personal assistant to the millionaire that Joe Pendleton inhabits.

Thanks to (y´)all

It was a stone groove y´all! Da movies was fly, the poontang boat ruled--with and without anchor, the rafting was fun, the fireworks excellent, the cabin perfect. Thanks to all who made it happen, it was great to see all of you.
