Good morning from a cool, but sadly dry Stockton.  At least no one will be rained on this morning for the sunrise service and all the egg hunts will go without a hitch.  <br />
<br />
We had a very interesting day of working on &quot;Iron Chef - although now they are calling it the Ultimate Chef - aha, liscensing problems.  I suspected as much, but they needed to work that for themselves.  <br />
<br />
Sorry that I burst so many people&#39;s bubbles with the news - I was amazed as I always thought it was a surprise myself  John looked at me like I&#39;d grown another head when I said that.  Anyhow, he is deep into the planning phase right now.  Yesterday, I scoped out PVC pipe and wooden capitals.  Chris concentrated upon lighting and optical effects.<br />
<br />
Went to see &quot;Blythe Spirit&quot; last ngiht and enjoyed it considerably.  Also found out that I am going to stage manage &quot;Art&quot; this summer.  There goes June and July...<br />
<br />
Not much planned for today aside from some more poking about at various hardware stores.<br />
<br />
Tonia - you always make me laugh&#33;  You are such a hoot&#33;<br />
<br />
Mebert - so glad to hear that your god mother is doing okay.  You are a good godson and I know that she is very proud of you.<br />
<br />
Maria - Apologies again.  I had always admired the way the chefs thought on their feet.  Now I&#39;m not so impressed.  Heck, I can come up with five dishes based on a single ingredient given time.  I always wondered how they managed to have exactly what they needed on hand though.  This is always something that nails my impulse cooking.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a grand day&#33;<br />
<br />
