Whew! ;)

Friday evening we ventured to the Oxford, OH, branch of Lane Public Library to celebrate National Science Fiction Day.  The featured speaker was author John Scalzi, who was quite interesting and entertaining.  Richard has read several of his books.  I have not, but I do love to listen to authors talk.

Even if I don't enjoy the book I enjoy listenting to most authors.  I've not read anything by Scalzi.  Does Richard have a favorite to recommend?

DR Jane, he’s quite fond of the Old Man’s War series, which starts with a book by that title.

A retired librarian whose opinion I respect says her favorite is The Kaiju Preservation Society.

Thank you.  I put a hold On Old Man's War and added Kaiju to my library wish list.

Most of his books at the library have a waiting list.  He seems to be very popular.

Very cool, Ginny!  I've read a couple of his books (I think)...well, at least one that I know of, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I waited to see if you said anything before asking if you have read any of his books.

I took Metro into DC this afternoon and had a nice lunch with former DR Ben and his DH Anthony.  They were in town for a wedding.   We went to a restaurant near their hotel in Dupont Circle and had a nice time.

Back from rehearsal. We did a run-through for lighting guy - he really liked the show and what we've done with it and he taped it so he's all set to hang lights now. Then I was intending to do more detail work but sound arrived, so instead we got everyone in mics and set levels for dialogue and then levels for singing with the tracks. Tracks sound great on the big sound system. I now have to have Richard create some scene change cues, about five of 'em. Then we have to add either four or eight bars of something for one number, to facilitate a costume change.

So, that ate up the rest of our time. I did set all the bits involving a skeleton that's on during the first scene in the doctor's office. From the very first staged reading I directed I knew what I wanted to do with the skeleton. It's now rigged to turn its head in either direction and front, and it also laughs - mouth part opens and closes, clacking while it does. We time and operate that from off-stage at specific moments and it's hilarious. Just imagine the skeleton as Jack Benny.

I tried a new Eyetalian jernt - new to me anyway - called MA's Italian Kitchen - trying their penne in pink sauce with Eyetalian sausage. They also use peas, and I always like that. Won't be here for forty minutes, but I'm gonna futz and finesse and write new pages until it arrives.
