Can I put my shoes back on now?

This one from Jeremy:

Working for the weekend

Very productive day. Did some birthday gift shopping (even if I didn't find anything). Worked on my lines. Did some fancy wrangling on the computer to try and figure out what I'm supposed to sing in Act I and what the accompaniment will be like. Did laundry, including stripping the bed. Picked up the two huge stacks of clean laundry off the floor so it looks like a grownup lives in this room. Managed to write a little bit. Helped somebody I care about with a minor meltdown. Now comes the real work.

To sleep would be an awfully big adventure.

Send Lawyers Guns and Money

Okay so remember the airline pilot who got fined for speaking the truth when he told TSA agents "I'm flying the damned plane. If I wanted to take it out, I wouldn't try to sneak liquid on board, I'd just fly the thing into a mountain"?
Apparently a federal agent has hit a similar speedbump. Cleared to carry a loaded handgun onto the plane, TSA agents force him to surrender his pocket knife.

It's Showtime!

For the first time since "Laundry and Bourbon" and "Lone Star" back in Corvallis, maybe fifteen years ago, I am back onstage!

The Clarkston Village Players present Incorruptible.
It's described as "A dark comedy about the dark ages" and is about a monastery which has fallen upon hard times, and a solution to their financial problems which presents itself. I'm Jack, a minstrel who theoretically knows how to juggle, and who has a canny business sense.
We open on the twelfth of May and run for two weekends. Tickets can be had at the link above.
