[John G.]

Been binge-watching All Creatures Great and Small. Up to episode five.

[John G.]

Speaking of five!

[John G.]

Hi, Ron.

[John G.]

Off to bed. Good night, all.

[TCB]

Tonight I watched a film called LUSITANIA.  I only recognized one or two of the actors.  I enjoyed it, for the most part.

[George]

Muse Margaret called and she loved the rest of the book. She only had one tiny thing, which involved the deletion of a half a line, and then she wanted to know what kind of car someone was driving - detail, always - so I'm thinking about that and will add when I find something that feels right. But she was just so effusive about it it did my soul good.

More great book news!

[George]

People have been wondering on FB whether local schools will be closed tomorrow because of the potential for ice hazards.  The answer is YES, schools WILL BE CLOSED TOMORROW because it's a federal holiday.  MLK Jr. Day, to be precise.

I mean, honestly, the kids already know that.  Why would their parents be asking if there might be a different reason for it?

Umm...because they're idiots not paying attention??

Twenty-eight years ago, I spent a lot of time trying to reach my mother to tell her that my sister and I were coming up on Monday to celebrate my new job with the state.

[TCB]

Finally, in the evening, I gave up the phone calls, and I went to Tacoma for some karaoke with my friends.

[TCB]

When I returned home about midnight, I saw that my answering machine was flashing that I had a message.

[TCB]

Now, since I expected my mom to have returned my calls, I can’t explain why seeing that flashing light turned all the blood in my veins to ice.

[TCB]

The message was from the emergency operator asking me to call the King County medical examinater in Seattle, any time night or day.

Ten minutes later, I was being told that my mother had been killed in an auto accident when the car she was in had been struck by one of two cars that was racing thru the streets of Auburn.

The other person Ian the car was her good friend, who lived across the street from her.  She had also been killed.

[TCB]

And that began the worst year of ny life!

I can't even imagine what that must've been like for you.

Well, I just got an e-mail from the stage manager that Theater Artists Olympia's remounting of The HEAD! That Wouldn't DIE!! is planning to open on Friday, April 1st and run for 3 weekends, closing April 17th!

[TCB]

Thank you, George.  That was a long time ago, but sometime the wound seems very fresh, especially on MLK’s Birthday weekend.

Cool!  Congratulations!

[George]

And then I got another e-mail from the director saying that the plan is to possibly play four weekends!

[George]

HOWEVER...I've also been cast in Evergreen Playhouse's production of Mamma Mia! which starts rehearsals on March 28, 2022, with performance dates of May 6-22, 2022. 

[George]

Fortunately, I'm (only) running sound for HEAD!, and shouldn't need to be at rehearsals until the final tech week, and performances which are on weekends.

[George]

Mamma Mia! won't have rehearsals on weekends, so tech week would be the only real conflicts/overlap...hopefully.

This last weekend, Lakewood Playhouse decided to postpone THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE until next fall.

[George]

Unless things have changed (and I haven't heard that it has), it's playing at the Broadway Olympia Productions space at the Capital Mall, which is completely handicapped accessible.

Great!  It must be nice to be “in demand.”
