From last night:
Jane, since you re seeing George's show on Saturday night and probably staying overnight in Olympia, it would be silly for you to journey north just to have lunch.

Perhaps we could meet at Hawk's Prairie (where we met up last time)?

My sister wants to go and get a tree from a tree farm on Saturday and I have no interest in cutting down a tree.  Maybe if it's at the same time, I could meet you while they're getting a tree. :)

It is.  We would usually do one Sunday evening performance so that people in other shows could see our shows, since no one else did Sunday night shows.

Is that burning supposed to happen?  Do the materials or write-ups online say that's a possible side effect, so that you shouldn't worry about it?

We have used the nape of the neck Flea medicine DR JANE.  But this particular Vet frowns on them....says they are not effective and recommends that we don't use them.

This new pill seems to have done the trick....it's only $10.50 from the Vet's Office.  It lasts a month.  It is called Simparica.  Dr. Tamar says it's the latest and best.....but who knows.....

I bought my vegan sister a Ninja Bullet Extractor so she can eat all the vegetables she wants - and can drink them, too.  I also found a couple of nice necklaces.  I also got her and her husband some of those Virtual Reality headsets that you use with your phone....it came with six free apps.....

I watch the commercials, and it seems to me that I would get motion sickness from them, but I might get one for myself as well.

Mr. Bill Hayes and his wife Susan Seaforth Hayes were at DePauw in September to do LOVE LETTERS.....they were VERY good....there were a lot of people around, so I didn't try to talk to them.....but it was probably the best performance of the show I have ever seen.

They also both spent time with the students and a couple of acting/singing seminars, and they charmed all of the students AND the professors!

Some of the boys put on a Davy Crocket Hat and sang to Bill..he was most amused.   :D :D :D

I am not one of them, but for any of you fans of the musical Titanic, here's the Signature theatre's new promo for the production that Joshie is currently orchestrating.  His work is good, as you can hear on the video.

I just detest the show.

It's beginning to look somewhat like Christmas.

Except in Rachel's office (directly across from my cubicle).

She spent yesterday morning lining all her windows with LED lights.

After she left work, our boss walked by and said "String lights are prohibited."  He unplugged her timer and left a note on her desk.

Her office is now barren of Christmas lights.  She was NOT happy.  LED lights are cool to the touch and there was nothing flammable coming into contact with them.

My boss is not terribly popular a çe moment!

I did mention I used that neck medicine on the dogs, however, it was DR Ron who asked "Jack, do you use those fleat/tick ointments that can be applied to the nape of a cat's or dog's neck?  I found them super-effective back when I had cats."

I am glad whatever you are using it is not a Hartz product.

It's beginning to look somewhat like Christmas.

Except in Rachel's office (directly across from my cubicle).

She spent yesterday morning lining all her windows with LED lights.

After she left work, our boss walked by and said "String lights are prohibited."  He unplugged her timer and left a note on her desk.

Her office is now barren of Christmas lights.  She was NOT happy.  LED lights are cool to the touch and there was nothing flammable coming into contact with them.

My boss is not terribly popular a çe moment!

Hopefully on Monday she can show him they don't get hot.

He knows that.  He doesn't think it matters.  It's now moot.

I thought because she had already left he didn't know that.  A shame he didn't notice what she was doing before she but them all up.

She left "yesterday".  She took them down today.

LOL I was one day behind.

DR TCB, Prairie Hawks is fine with us.  It is also very close to where we are staying.  Might there be someplace closer to you?  We will have plenty of time to drive back to the hotel after lunch and check into our hotel before going to the theater.

What time?  We will be leaving home and going straight to lunch.

I don't mind driving to Hawk's Prairie.  It is so close to the freeway exit that it is more convenient than many other restaurants.  Sharry and Micheal said that they might be able to join us for lunch.  Is 1:30 p.m. too early for you?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Sharry said they will meet us.  OK, 1:30 at Hawks Prairie.  We will see you tomorrow :)

I love The Telephone.  "Hello, hello, oh, Margaret, it's you;  I am so glad you called . . ." one of the funniest arias ever written,  and that "Black Swan" duet from The Medium, is also cherce.  The original lead in The Medium, a singer named Marie Powers, appears briefly in Capote's novella, "Breakfast At Tiffany's."  She's the opera sdinger in the neighborhood who roller skates.
