To the total of $1200

Ouch.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #99 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:49:05 AM »

Somehow I missed some posts, even though I saw vixmom's report on the play and dinner.

Whoa.

CONGRATULATIONS, MA'AM.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #100 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:50:21 AM »

And yes, OUCH to the brake job.

But I just recently paid...I think less than $500, just for the rear brakes, and they didn't need rotors (I think).
So there it is. And there I am. And so it goes. etc.

Good Monday, gentle folk!

It's another overcast morning here in Johnston SC. It's 76 degrees of temperature.
Our AQI is 36. Dr singdaw, you and Jayson should reconsider where you live.

I am absolutely gobsmacked that today is the 24th of July.

Your AQI is better than ours which is currently 48.

Jane · « **Reply #102 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:52:30 AM »

It is 68 degrees here. Earlier it was damp and sprinkling.

That's it.

That's all I have to say.

I shan't blather on.

I don't blame you for blathering.

I have less headspace and patience for conspiracy theories now that we know how people can construct a universe of BS out of any event, then obsess over it and then profit off of it.

They used to seem harmless, now they are very scary.

Air Quality Index up to 119 here today. Unhealthy. Sigh.

Oh, no! That does not sound good!

It is a few points less in Milwaukee. I hope playtime is inside.

Forgot to post this yesterday -- it's the stage for the outdoor production of The Importance of Being Earnest by the local Valley Shakespeare Festival based in Shelton, CT. This weekend's performances were on this little town square-like stage at a rather interesting place called Quarry Walk in Oxford, CT, which seems to be something of a planned community consisting of a shopping center that incorporates nice rental apartments and a healthcare facility. Obviously it's aimed to benefit those of a certain age, but I believe there are no restrictions. The stores and restaurants are in a picturesque village style, it's nicely laid out, and the little green with this stage was comfortable and more than adequate for a play of this nature. Very simple, no? Like I said, the actors were impeccable, it's all Equity, and the performance was as elegant and delightful as anything you could ask for.

One of the actresses who auditioned yesterday is someone I have worked with before.

Every time I have given her a direction she always objects with "but" and goes on blathering about her own thoughts....ALWAYS.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #111 on:** July 24, 2023, 12:08:09 PM »

I did the auditions a bit differently from I have before. Instead of having folks who were auditioning for the same character read the same scene.....

I had the play scenes chosen from the start of the play to the end....

Then I assigned parts in different scenes and gave the groups a few minutes together to read the scenes [they had almost all been posted on the internet] and then we did the scenes in order.

After they did it the first time, I gave each of them a BIT of direction and a few minutes and then we did the same scene again with them.

The Stats

Air quality: Around 40, depending on which site you look at.

Gasoline: It had been hovering between $3.32 and $3.37 over the past week or two, and suddenly today it's $3.42.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #113 on:** July 24, 2023, 12:08:43 PM »

The Actress listened and said "But....." so I do not think she will be cast in this play.

GUESS THE SECRET WORD!!

Too bad there wasn't a duck that could drop down at that moment.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #115 on:** July 24, 2023, 12:10:15 PM »

The last scene in the play has ALL of the characters in it.....and we luckily had exactly the right number of folks.....so I ended with that....once....a bit of talking....and then again.

It was a lot of fun for everyone, I think....so we shall see what happens tonight. Probably won't have as many folks, so maybe some from yesterday will come back.

Probably You Know Who.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #116 on:** July 24, 2023, 12:12:46 PM »

That's a nice stage set up DR CHAS SMITH.

Yes, I think a Duck is in order.

Clearly an actress from the Annabelle school of dramatic arts.

DR ChasSmith, have you ever been to the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival on the Boscobel estate? We used to go once or twice every summer.
