Hi, Tom.

[TCB]

Don’t get me wrong, I know I am talented, but I also know that I am speeding towards age 70 and that I am in a wheelchair.

[TCB]

Hello, George.

[George]

Oh, look!  It's Page Five!

[George]

Don’t get me wrong, I know I am talented, but I also know that I am speeding towards age 70 and that I am in a wheelchair.

Yes, you are talented!  Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, there were more theater groups, abd more groups in general put on concerts and benefits.  I was involved in an annual AIDS benefit for 11 years in a row!

[TCB]

I can’t play just any role, and I try not to throw my hat in for shows that I am not right for.

[George]

Anyone could be involved with the benefits and concerts that I did.  Even though we didn't actually have anyone in a wheelchair be involved, they wouldn't have been excluded because of it.

[George]

I can’t play just any role, and I try not to throw my hat in for shows that I am not right for.

As with anyone, that's definitely a consideration.

[TCB]

So, to have a leading role in a quality production suddenly ripped away from me is very disappointing.

At least you can be secure in the knowledge that you did get cast, and that it's not your fault that it's not happening.  EVERYONE is in the same boat.

[TCB]

But, I knew all along that this show wasn’t going to happen.  There is no crying over spilled vodka.

Five minutes after I wrote the post about the fellow, I cut him loose - what a foolish beginning actor.  He has no "manager" - I looked up the "manager" and he's another kid, musical theater performer, not a manager - perhaps they're in a relationship.  I was nice but pointed in the e-mail and left no room for them to come back with anything other than "sorry" which I'm sure they won't do, knowing this generation of entitled nobodies.

Very true.

The nerve of them!

[George]

So, I just put two dozen mini cheesecakes in the oven to cook for tomorrow's Phase 10 playing and dinner at my parents' house (I'm also bringing sliced cheeses for sandwiches), and then I had the thought...what if I wasn't supposed to bring them this week?  What if someone else was going to bring a different dessert instead, and I was just supposed to bring the cheese??

[George]

Well, I guess I'll find out soon enough.

[Jane]

Of course, I knew that the show cancellation was inevitable, but that doesn’t make it any easier.

It wouldn't.   I will feel the same when our planned trip to Chicago doesn't happen.

[Jane]

Of course, I knew that the show cancellation was inevitable, but that doesn’t make it any easier.

I suppose.  Hopefully, they can reschedule...or did they already propose that?

That would be nice but reschedule for when?

[Jane]

I understand.

Next season.  Mamma Mia! at Evergreen Playhouse is going to open their next season in October.  It was supposed have ended last weekend.

Good point.

Here is this week's batch of mini cheesecakes:

It would be nice if he surprised you.  At the least it learned a lesson.

Enjoy.  Have you tried any from the freezer?

[George]

You can't see them, but this week I used Keebler Pecan Sandies Shortbread cookies for the base instead of graham cracker crumbs for the crust.

No.  The leftovers were left at my parents' house, so I would assume that my dad had some (or all) that were left.

[George]

These are what I used for the crust:

And since we're so close...
