When I woke up this morning, I must've slept wrong, because my left shoulder hurt (and it still does) and I have a headache that hasn't gone away, even with the ibuprofin that I've taken. :P

Yesterday's matinee was a good show for us...and the 12, yes 12, audience members. ::) There are about 25 people in the cast. :-\ But we still put on a good show.  Yesterday's evening performance went well, also, but it helped that we also had a FULL house (they even added a couple of extra chairs!)!  They loved it!  My friend Margo and co-worker Rick were there.  Margo really enjoyed it and Rick told me that he did.  But later, I called Margo and she said that Rick was a little hesitant about going.  He was in Seattle all day yesterday and didn't necessarily want to sit through a two and a half hour show.  Oh, well.  He did.  I think he really did enjoy it, though.

Now I know where our last week's audience went after our show.  :)  Today it was crow-ded--several hundred, they had to bring out extra chairs.  So I'll assume you'll be sold out next week.  ;)

That's one member for every two Living Dead - hardly a satisfying meal!

Sadly, I need to leave now (after only getting to page 2).  I need to get ready for tonight's show and clean up my downstairs living room, a bit.  A friend is coming over for lunch tomorrow, and we should have a place to sit down and eat.  It would be unseemly, otherwise. ;)

Were they at least generous enough to comment on your leadership?

Did you enjoy your time as worship leader?  

I did get positive comments.

Not everyone comes with a rechargeable EverReady Battery, Missy Karen.

Jose, it is easier to stay out of the rest of the apartment & stay in your bedroom.  Can you sleep all night with the windows open?  I know I would freeze.

This is sort of Zen, DRLaura....he was in your car but he might not really have been there.  And you were ttook aking him to the airport where he might never have arrived to catch a plane that might never have existed.  And now he might be there but he might never have gone.  With all of that in mind, he didn't really need a ride to the airport since wherever he is right now is more a state of mind than a tangible location.

I appreciate this information.  It puts things into perspective.

That strikes me as funny.  I’m obviously far more nosy than you are.


Perhaps, Laura is not aloud to say, for fear that it could endanger the mission.

Sherlock only keeps half my body warm.  If I'm not quick enough to get the covers just right before he flops, the other half of my body is cold due to lack of said covers on top of me. ;D

Riddle me this, Batman:  there's a movie called RESERVOIR DOGS, but. . .there are no reservoirs, nor are there dogs.

Is a puzzlement.

Yes, Whole Foods does sell Gift Cards.  -And they have these cute little holders that look like small shopping bags too.  :)

Well, another roommate just came home, and she didn't smell any fumes, so...  I'm guessing the rain assisting in dissipating the fumes.  :)

td - The tagline for the film includes the following:  "Seven Total Strangers Team Up For The Perfect Crime. They Don't Know Each Other's Name."

The second sentence of that sounds exactly like the reservoir that people have been talking about.

Otherwise, it is possible to sleep with the windows cracked open a little bit since they work well.  Sometimes too well.  -And I think they adjusted the thermostat again.

And I am sure that Jose has encountered some dogs!

Thanks.  I searched gift certificates, not cards.  I'll call & see if they will send it to me.

I'm trying to figure out what to send Ioana in Romania.  I don't want to mail something that requires an international collection at the post office, too much of a hassle for her.  Craig suggested a Sephora gift certificate but I can't purchase one from here.  I need to ask Craig to call the store in Bucharest & see if they have them.  She may never get a Christmas gift.

I need to read Persuasion for my book group discussion.  I should have picked up a paperback so I could read it in bed.  My copy is in a hardbound collection of Jane Austin novels which is too uncomfortable to hold with my wrist difficulties.

It's her greatest novel, very autobiographical with the happy ending for her heroine Anne Eliot that she herself never had in reality.
