My goodness, i\u2019m starting to think that everybody in springfield is MAD.<\/p>\n
it\u2019s all because of a little invitation that you may or may not have received in the mail.<\/p>\n
first, Margaret got one. she called Mom to tell her about it. it\u2019s an invitation to a special preview of the Abe Lincoln Presidential Library. it\u2019s for “theater community members,” and it\u2019s next week.<\/p>\n
Mom didn\u2019t get an invitation. She wasn\u2019t happy that she didn\u2019t. I said, maybe Margaret got one because of her connection to the SJ-R. Mom finally said she didn\u2019t CARE about the invitation, anyway.<\/p>\n
Early in the week, she and Dad got one. Whew. So did i. Crisis averted.<\/p>\n
I then asked Randy if he\u2019d gotten one. <\/p>\n
Nope. WHY didn\u2019t he get one??? Anger. Grrrr. Randy has done LOTS of theater! <\/p>\n
Randy took matters into his own hands, and called P., the guy in charge of sending out the invitations. P. said he didn\u2019t have Randy\u2019s address, but that he WAS on the Very Important List. You have to be on the list to get in, because SECURITY IS VERY TIGHT. P. said initially he was allowed to send 100 or 150 invitations, then “they” said he could send out 200 MORE, and then, 200 MORE THAN THAT! so, 550 theater people? <\/p>\n
I guess, then, that if you WEREN\u2019T invited, you SHOULD BE MAD! because, clearly, everybody who is anybody, even those who are only marginally anybody, will be there. theater people, that is.<\/p>\n
Anyway, Randy now assumes he\u2019ll be on the list. he wondered if we could dress up – i could wear the fancy green skirt and pointy green high heels he gave me for xmas and i\u2019m dying to wear. i don\u2019t think it\u2019ll be that fancy, i told him. i\u2019m wondering if there will be snacks at the event, since they don\u2019t seem to have found anybody to do any catering. maybe i should bring some treats with me, but they probably wouldn\u2019t let them in, because of the searching and stuff they\u2019ll be doing in order to thwart terrorists.<\/p>\n
Margaret is very concerned about where people will park. <\/p>\n
Randy called John to see if he\u2019d been invited, and JOHN WASN\u2019T INVITED EITHER! John, too, was VERY MAD. He\u2019s a BIG theater guy, he\u2019s going to have a lead this summer at muni, he\u2019s a staunch supporter of theater in spfld, and his address is clearly listed in the phone book! plus, he\u2019s a bona-fide member of the media! OUTRAGE! Then John said he didn\u2019t care. Just like Mom.<\/p>\n
whew, so at this point, i\u2019m thinking that people all over town are PISSED OFF. if you read this and you, too, weren\u2019t invited to the spectacle gala, well then, i guess you\u2019ll be pissed off, too. <\/p>\n
maybe i shouldn\u2019t have even brought it up. i try to make people feel better in life, i don\u2019t want to make everybody in springfield ANGRY all of a sudden. <\/p>\n
instead of being mad, you could figure that you\u2019re in fine company, that many, many people WEREN\u2019T invited. try to let it go. think peaceful thoughts. breathe, in and out, slooowwwly…<\/p>\n
try not to be mad. and try not to GLOAT if you did get invited. i\u2019m pretty sure i was invited because I know that P. knows my address. no gloating here, though. i just want to see the place.<\/p>\n
and the more important issue, really, is – will there be snacks?<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
grace visualizing spring because that\u2019s the only way to experience it since it clearly ISN\u2019T COMING anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
