The weatherman wins again. It came down steadily and determinably and piled itself on top of the snow already in place. The result is another cancelled show. Means more shows next week to provide opportunity for the ticket holders to attend. But what really threw me is the lack of anything being done. Ann and …

Redemption
Mousetrap redeemed itself tonight. And a huge thank you to Tom and Carey for driving ALL the way to see the show last night!
2nd Night

City Directional Signs
It is any city, anywhere. The directional signs are placed by a crew that lives in the city, on instruction by other folks who know the city well. None of that helps a stranger, at all. Yesterday, after a wonderful dinner, far out Burnside, I dropped down Burnside below 21st and began looking for signs …
