As a matter of fact, that was the original short that had been planned... but the idea sort of mushroomed.

DR Jose - what's in Memphis?

The Unified Professional Theatre Auditions - UPTAs for short.

www.upta.org

This will be my third of fourth year playing for them.  They went from a three-day to a four-day format last year, and since I was busy with Lestat, I was not able to play for them last year, so this will be my first time going four days in a row.  Thankfully, they guy who runs the auditions makes sure the days run smoothly and non-hectic-ly.

I will be playing for the grand-daddy - or is it grand-mammy? - of all theatre conferences in March in Atlanta: Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETCs).  And I've been playing for them for the past 15 years or so.

Actually, since it is the South, I believe the correct term would be: "The Grand Dame off all theatre conferences".

DR DAKOTA CELT,
You, my dear, are much hardier than I. I am a California girl living in Virginia. Normal winters I'm fine--I learned how to shop for a WARM coat (went up to Canada and a couple Canadians showed me what to look for) and now have most of the gear. But yesterday and today our temps and wind chill are the lowest they've been in 10 years, plus my house is drafty. I feel warmer today and even ran errands comfortably (thank God for my car's heated seats!). Also, this winter the temps have bounced around a lot--one day it's 70, then next it falls to 30. Much better when the temps are consistent. I do think a lot of it is knowing how to dress and having the right clothes. I need to invest in a warm hat.


LLBean has a cap with ear muffs.  You might find a hat with a scarf attached, I suggest wearing a second scarf as well.  Don't forget to wrap a scarf around your face and neck.  On really cold days I have one of those things that goes over your head and down your neck.  I used to have a face mask.

Thanks for the update, DR Jose!

I just did something I've never done before - sent an email, via her website, to Oprah.  Yesterday's show featured frump-to-glam makeovers and they did something that really annoys me.  At least 2 of the "befores" were wearing glasses and, of course, as "afters" they were not.  It really peeves me when our culture wants to frump somebody up, they put glasses on them and when they want to unfrump someone, off come the glasses.

Ok, I'll confess. This is the first time I've ever watched THE CLOSER and I like it a lot.  Oy! Now I guess I need to start from the beginning...

I have two words for you.....Cuddle Duds. Best long underwear for women you can get. They are thin but warm. The key is layers and covering all exposed skin outside.  Also keep your feel warm. It makes a huge difference. In the house put a throw blanket over you when you're sitting or on the couch. It makes a huge difference.

DR Ben, the hospice situation is fine with me.  I know it's the best thing for him now. What's tearing me apart is that no matter how much you think you're prepared, the reality hurts.  I weep for him and selfishly weep for myself.

I am grateful for all of my friends and very appreciative of their support.  

Hospice could give him fluids by IV at home before dehydration becomes a problem.  

True, you are never completely prepared, just more prepared.

...Will this California girl ever completely acclimate to cold weather???

Well, Jane may have had problems, but THIS California girl is managing just fine!  We've had sub-freezing temps all day here in Rehoboth Beach, and I walked both to and from work (about a mile each way) and found it bracing!

Rollin', rollin', rollin'.
Rollin', rollin', rollin'.
Rollin', rollin', rollin'.
Rollin', rollin', rollin'.
Rawhide!
Hah! Hah!

Keep rollin', rollin', rollin',
Though the streams are swollen,
Keep them dogies rollin', rawhide.
Through rain and wind and weather,
Hell bent for leather,
Wishin' my gal was by my side.
All the things I'm missin',
Good vittles, love, and kissin',
Are waiting at the end of my ride.

Move 'em out, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em on.
Move 'em out, head 'em up:
Rawhide.
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in,
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out,
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in:
Rawhide!
Hah! Hah!

Movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
Keep them dogies movin', rawhide.
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just rope an' throw an' brand 'em.
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
My heart's calculatin',
My true love will be waitin':
Waitin' at the end of my ride.

Move 'em out, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em on.
Move 'em out, head 'em up:
Rawhide.
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in,
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out,
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in:
Rawhide!

(Rollin', rollin', rollin'.)
(Rollin', rollin', rollin'.)
Hah!
(Rollin', rollin', rollin'.)
Hah!
(Rollin', rollin', rollin'.)
Rawhide.

DR Jane - there's a library parody of that song about the process we use to cull our collections.  It starts out "Weedin', weedin', weedin'..."

As of April 6 all the libraries in our county will be closed.  I think they are taking weeding to an extreme.

My dear he is on his way....

You are rigiht is how you dress and the knowledge that goes into it. Ironically, a gift I got as a high school graduation present at the time I thought it was odd until winter came. God was I thankful for the LONGJOHNS!!! NDSU is a large spread out campus.


It was a native Floridian who told me about wearing two pair of socks. But, then again, he lived in Germany for several years.

Larry, I know it's hard and there isn't much to say that doesn't sound cliched or worse. Having gone through it with my father in 1993 I do think that if the hospice care is good, it can be one of the best things to come out of all this. I'm a big fan of hospice care, having seen what it did for my father and my family. Even if/when you're ready for it, the passing still hurts but good hospice care (both emotional and physical) can make the hurt more understandable even though it doesn't take away the pain.


I agree with DR BEN. The best that can happen at this point is for your dad to have the best care and be kept comfortable. Hospice people are generally very caring and it will take a load off you and other family members. That may help to lessen family conflicts, which I think would be best for both you and your dad. Less stress for your dad may mean that he'll be with you a few months longer.

My best to you.

DR JANE,
Thank you. You are quite right. I've resisted this last step--vanity! I've found that HOW you wrap the scarf makes a big difference. It's the wind that gets you.
