and the itch goes on…

…and the itch goes on…i got a cortisone shot last week and i thought the poison ivy would poof, disappear.  it didn’t.  it’s good cause it’s not spreading anymore, and it’s not OOZING in that disgusting poison ivy-kinda...

happy birthday, mr. dylan…

bob dylan and i have the same birthday, which i’m sure i’ve posted here before but i bet you don’t remember. kevin shares barack obama’s birthday. i am celebrating today with…a new case of poison ivy.  last year when i got it so bad and...

hey, we’re all still here!

whew, that’s a relief!  the world didn’t end yesterday, and we only have one more show this afternoon!  i hoped you had a chance to see it, or i hope you’ll be there this afternoon.  we haven’t had big crowds, but they’ve been...

the tragic tale of the grisly gosling incident…

and a gosling, by the way, is a BABY GOOSE.  you probably knew that, but when i was hysterically calling randy, all he could think of was that reality-show family called the goslings.  is that really their name, and if so, why? anyway, on wednesday mollie and i took a...

the world is coming to an end on saturday!

well, that’s what randy told me yesterday, anyway.  well, he didn’t actually say it’s coming to an end, but he did say that a guy on the radio was very insistent that it is.  there will be many many earthquakes and tsunamis and the good people will...

“the golden girls,” of course

what else would this 65 year-old be watching after coming home from a cast party? the problem with the show now is that by the end of it i’m FEELING GREAT AND FULL OF ENERGY.  i didn’t stay at the part so long because i didn’t even get there til 11,...

CHOMP!

that’s the sound of me, CHEWING UP THE SCENERY in the play. if you aren’t familiar with the term, it means that the actor in question is a BIG HAM, OVER THE TOP, WAY OVER-ACTING. not a compliment. almost all the time they review plays around here, they...

another opening and another show…

well, tonight is our opening.  i hope i remember my lines.  i hope i don’t just stop and stand there like a moron, as i did a coupla times on monday night.  since then it’s been going pretty well, but, well, you never know. meanwhile, here are a couple of...

wednesday morning

we sat down on the dock for a little while because it’s so beautiful outside, and winnie came down and joined us.  he really, really wanted to get on the boat, so kevin opened the door for him.  winnie still wasn’t going in, so kevin had to brush away the...

WATCH THIS FUNNY VIDEO!!!

Aunt sandy just sent me this video and it is VERY FUNNY.  i can’t figure out how to just stick the video in here, so you will have to click on it which i realize is VERY TIME-CONSUMING AND DIFFICULT…but i promise you it’ll be worth it! VERY FUNNY...

YET MORE PHOTOS!

so on saturday, in addition to going to THE FARM!, we also went on a boat ride. today, because i’m going to IGNORE ANY BIT OF WEAKNESS IN MY BODY, i give you some more photos.  i don’t have a vitamin B12 deficiency, by the way, the doctor just informed me,...

boat launch! plus more, including THE FARM!

i shot some video of the PONTOON BOAT LAUNCH on friday afternoon, but i don’t know if i’ll post it here or not.  right now it doesn’t seem like it’s worth the trouble. here’s a photo of the VERY FIRST BOAT RIDE, though.  mollie was quite...

IT’S ABOUT DARNED TIME!

this morning i grabbed my camera to take photos of the cute little puffy goslings waddling around the yard, went to click the shutter…and the battery died!  grrrr…by the time i’d recharged it enough, the goslings were nowhere to be seen.  so instead...

DAD DAD DAD

i thought i’d post a few photos of DAD THROUGH THE YEARS here… he was the CUTEST LITTLE KID EVER!  also the snappiest dresser… i don’t THINK he was a small child serving in the armed forces…at least he’s never mentioned it.  but you...

the rapid rate of the news…

i was reading CNN international about how the news of bin laden’s was the most-twittered thing eve, and then all this stuff about everybody getting their news from facebook, blah blah blah, and so i had to go to my comics on comics.com, and this one, PEARLS...

first monday in may…

and i have no pictures for a nice, new may banner up there.  i’ve been sitting here working on one; i used the tray of delicious IRISH CAR BOMB CUPCAKES, but it was just…boring.  even kevin admitted that it was boring, and for him to even have the...
