I stayed until the bitter end last night helping Michelle look for her cell phone and loading up her car. When we all said our goodbyes and it was time to walk out to my car, I realized that I'd be going alone. Michelle was driving Crystal to her car and Sue was driving Sharon and all her stuff to her car. As I walked through the dark towards my ( Read more... )

It was a good year for my guild. I'm ridiculously proud of all of them. Actually, not a good year, but the best year in my memory. I wish it had been a better year for me, but maybe next year. I am a bit frustrated that a gig I enjoyed and that the audience really responded to was shut down because a few people (not the director, not the management ( Read more... )

Nearly a week in and I am doing better. I've had some trouble sticking to the "no strain" rules, but as far as I know I haven't damaged my eye. No new flashes and as far as I know, no new floaters.

Here's the situation. Tomorrow the WasherWomen are throwing a joint baby shower for him and his wife and another couple who just had a baby. The other couple lives near me, and one of the women who offered to host the ( Read more... )

Parts of this weekend were disappointing, parts of it were fun, parts of it were tiring and parts of it were just plain terrifying.

Disappointing:
Ploughboy James' last day.
No Nathaniel or Isaac all weekend, no Ploughboys at all on Sunday. (Until Bobby showed up, but he's the quiet Ploughboy. I love him dearly, but he doesn't gig)
Missing the ( Read more... )

It's finally hot! I know you other folks hate it, but it's better for us. Although we did come up with some pretty great stuff during the cold days (VegeteBall!), we're happier and can do more in the heat. Plus, the crowds are better and that's good for all of us.

I keep hearing about all of the drama in the other groups and I am so thankful that I ( Read more... )
