last night i went to patrick and gina’s lovely wedding, and there were many, many people at the reception and i even talked to some of them. i chatted with phil funkenbusch for a while – i’ve written about my friend phil before; he’s the Director of Theaters at the abraham lincoln presidential museum, but in real life he’s actually the KING OF THE MUSEUM. last night he told me that people were joking because that’s HIS TITLE, but i don’t quite understand how they can’t understand that that’s what he is. king. of the museum. quite striaghtyforward.
however, last night phil introduced me to the guy sitting across from him, whose name is sam cooper, and he’s the technical director in the division of shows. hmm, two directors, and without them there would be NO COOL SHOWS.
so i’m thinking that although they’re both directors, they can’t both be king. wouldn’t work out. might start a war. so i’m thinking more that phil is, OF COURSE, the KING OF THE MUSEUM, and sam is the prime minister. phil is in charge of the spectacle and razzle dazzle, sam makes sure that all the magic surrounding the spectacle doesn’t suddenly crash. phil gets the sparkly crown and does a lot of waving and hand-shaking, and sam has to deal with that whole loud and unruly house of commons.
it’s august today, in case you haven’t been outside. if you just stayed inside, though, you would have noticed the crazy meteoric rise in temperature inside your house.
tomorrow it’s going to be EVEN HOTTER. i spent too much time debating about turning on the air conditioning. then i thought “if it was 89 with the relative humidity making it feel like NINETY SIX, i would turn on the AC IN A HEARTBEAT if it was august. so i did it, and i think it was a good decision.
many other things also happened today, but i’m too tired to recount them and nothing quite compares to the flat-out excitement of TURNING ON THE AC. whoo hoo.
well, if you want to know the truth, i HATE turning on the air conditioning because then i can’t hear the noises of the outside. what’s the point of it being summer if you can’t open the windows?
ok then,
sunday night grace.
Sam is also a very nice guy. Made several quick copies of The Last of Mrs. Lincoln when I was traveling home, so my family could see the show! He didn’t have to do that…but, he is a nice guy! So good talking to you at Patrick’s wedding…I enjoy talking to you.
that was very nice of him! he did seem to be a good person. also his wife, except of course i can’t remember her name. i couldn’t remember his name, actually, and had to look him up online.
