Good morning from Stockton.  This will be the last time I check in for awhile.  We are headed to the hills tomorrow at the crack of dawn - Chris is so excited - I&#39;m not a happy camper, but I do love seeing Chris this happy.  I&#39;d be  alot happier if the cool down wasn&#39;t happen while we are there.  We come back to 100+ temps.  It would  have been nice to have it hot while we were up in the cool hills and cool when we came back.  Oh well...<br />
<br />
Sounds like the Tahoe fire is getting containted.  No worries about the smoke in Stockton or even in Ice House, where we&#39;re headed.  Lots and Lots of dsitance (as well as two mountain ranges) between us and the fire.  it&#39;s also too early in the year to start dealing with the semi-annual crop burning, so we&#39;re loving the clear air.<br />
<br />
Play&#39;s going well and there was a good production meeting last night.  Can&#39;t believe there&#39;s only four more rehearsal before we start tech week.  We open July 11th.  We do have the set in place and 99% of the props, so that&#39;s good to go.  Now if we can just get the guys off book...<br />

We gave up on zucs about three years ago.  Got huge leaves and nothing else.  They pretty much killed everything else in the garden, so it&#39;s easier to buy them.  Finally pulled the beans yesterday.  They didn&#39;t do well this year, nor did the spinach.  Peppers and tomatoes seem to be the crop this summer, at least here.  <br />
<br />
Here&#39;s wishing everyone a great weekend.<br />
<br />
