Our last rehearsal: Arrived at 6:00 and didn't get home until 10:00. It went well--as usual with equal parts great fun and hours of tedium. The "theatre" is shaping up wonderfully, now looking more and more like a speakeasy, with lighted beer signs, the front part of a Ford pickup, and various other honky-tonk items on the wall.
One of the other plays includes a young woman named Meredith Newcom, who is an artist. While we were sitting around waiting to go on last night, she was painting in a little notebook. I asked to see what she did and wow! Here's her web site, which I asked her to send me: meredithnewcomdesign.com and some of her works follow. (The rabbit is not a painting, but is a wall hanging made of some kind of wool technique.)
We open tonight at eight p.m.!
* Every once in a while, I clean the coffee maker by adding a cup of vinegar to about ten of water. I run it though, then do two "flushes" of plain water. I did that yesterday morning and thought little of it--until I realized I had accidentally used bleach instead of vinegar. (I don't even want to contemplate how I could have done that.) I didn't know if the two water flushes would have gotten rid of the bleach and I immediately went to the vinegar routine. Even so, I wanted to be sure, so I called one of those "ask the doctor" sites (can't remember which one). In the chat box, I explained the situation, then got a response from a "doctor's assistant," asking what my symptoms are and did I take medication for it? WHAT? Clearly, she hadn't read what I wrote and I responded snippily and checked out. I then called Poison Control; interestingly, I got the New Jersey one, as my cell number is still listed as being in Jersey. I explained everything to a very nice woman, who listened carefully, asked questions, and after thoroughly understanding the situation, assured me there would be no danger of being poisoned by the bleach.
