Well, the cruelest month is over and now That Lusty Month Of May is in full swing. Tra Lah and all that sort of thing. If I seem a little Oscar Levant about the whole thing, it's because these rainy days (and Mondays) always get me down. Where is the bright conducive-to-biking sunshine and gentle tail winds to waft me down the lane? Where oh where has my little dog gone...ahhh but I digress. Focus! Focus!
I've been busy:
1.) Now an official (if un-paid) usher for Geva. Geva Debut: May 10th! Cinderella. Do I love this show because it's going to be free, or is it free because I love it? Watch for me in the mezzanine. I have to wear black, but will "jazz" it up with (jazz hands?) a scarf and daffy earrings. "I Gotta Be Me", as Mr. Sinatra exhorts.
2.) Planning the next bike trip. To be announced soon! But expect it to be adequately grueling, lllooooonnnnggggg, and border-crossing. And the inevitable earring souvenir potential.
3.) I mowed! Tra Lah. The mower complained mightily. Me, almost as much.
4.) The pledge drive is over and we made so much money we don't have to beg you for more ever again! Well, if "ever again" is 6 months hence. Thanks to all who dug into their pockets and came up with some very generous funding!
This edition? I had to dig deep for a theme...and along with some lint and pocket change, I found 2. As in Tea For Two, 2 Sleepy People, Cocktails For 2, 2 By 2, Tooooo-gether Wherever We Go. All 2s! Plus some duets and couples and You and Meeeees. And a wacky mini theme or two. :) Well, it IS 2 On The Aisle, so it all kinda makes sense.
Visual proof of a wacky theme: Dress Big,
with Nathan Lane and Burke Moses in The Frogs
So tune in for "2s" and assorted other numbers. I'll practice my ushering ("Right this way...or that way, I'm really not sure yet"), dress big-ish, and consider cleaning my lawn mower...nah! And no way am I having tea. Make mine "coffee for two"!
