Good Morning, All.
Since I moaned last week about not getting to see Big River, I'll let you know that we DID get in to see it last night

Here's whqat I put on the Main board:
We got to see the production at the Ahmanson this evening. The musical itself always kind of underwhelmed me - it just seemed to have too many of the problems that Twain had with the novel. And the music, while seemingly appropriate for the piece, never really grabbed me - even though I'm a big sucker for a spiritual or an ingratiating melody line.
HOWEVER, what we saw this evening doesn't have anything to do with that. The subtext created by having this theatre company present it in sign language takes this to a completely different level. Not exactly making a silk purse out of a sows ear, but definitely rising FAR above the source material.
A production full of passion, verve and amazing direction.
Mornin!!
Ice cicles Beav?? Wow it's in the mid 40's in the south bay and moderately foggy.. I guess we are supposed to get up to the 60's today?

Morning ALL!
DG I am glad you finally got to see Big River and I am excited to see you tomorrow!
Beav please come this way, DG is right it's supposed to be very warm today and all throughout the week into the weekend!
Morning to everyone who just showed. Morning LA. I'm working 9-8 today (joy) but they did just give me XM to play with.

Beav - I SERIOUSLY would like to meet the director - I was blown away by his work.
LA - I'm looking forward to seeing you too, dear
XM is satellite radio and it is awesome.
Beav - we're supposed to be getting 2 feet of snow this weekend. We sneer at your icicles.

Beav - that's always good to hear! Not that anybody in the business is ever anything but lovely . . . well, it's just good to hear

O yeah, CC my friend Denise has that in her resturant and we had it for my mom's suprise party and it was awsome!
It's supposed to dip below zero here tonight oh and get this. This morning I went to have my smoke and as I stepped out the back door at work a big wind kicked up and dumped a giant hunk of snow onto my head from the roof of my store. That was sooo much fun.
Beav, I was supposed to go upstate to visit my godson and family, who I haven't seen since Thanksgiving, this weekend, but now I'm not because I'm afraid I wouldn't get back! Not that being stranded in a lovely house with my loving chosen family wouldn't be preferable to being stuck in my apt., but my job is here. And you know how jobs are.

CC, LMAO!!!!! It's going to be 85 here today! and ALL week into the weekend!
Well I have thought of that...but then again, how long can I stand being stuck in a house with two preschoolers with cabin fever? All kinds of considerations here...
I was a living snowman. A snowman with a very dirty mouth. and it put my camel out. Maybe it's a sign...
No - digital cable is coming tomorrow - we weren't properly prepared last week, apparently. Don't ask.
Bea is pretty awesome. I've been fortunate enough to work with her twice. She scared me off a bit at first, but then she gave me a glimpse of her heart of gold.
She's so sweet - when she's not being abrupt and gruff!! But once you've glimpsed the sweetness, the gruffness will never get to you again.

LOL again CC! And YES it's a sign! :)

Carl!
Put out the cigarette and don't smoke again. Save your lungs for something more fun---like performing on stage or having breath to compliment LA.

It wasn't cursing that put me off, Beav. It was her very strong personality!
