Good morning from Stockton&#33;  Another beautful day ahead - 78 today, but cooling a bit this weekend.  The extent of my gardening yesterday was driving around and looking at plants.  Couldn&#39;t find the type of tomate I wanted, but it&#39;s still early yet.  Think we&#39;ll do containers this year, just in case.<br />
<br />
Got a couple of watercolors worked on yesterday and did a mess of housework.  took a long walk in the morning and another in the afternoon with Chris and could barely move the leg this morning...sigh.  This getting old stuff sucks.<br />
<br />
Mebert,  we have a very active theater community here.  one of our founding fathers has been honored at Kennedy Center and he doens&#39;t let us have any slack.  I&#39;m stage managing for him in November and am a little concerned, as he has a reputation as a screamer.  <br />
<br />
I can&#39;t wait to hear your review on &quot;Pirate Queen&quot;  Keep your eyes open for &quot;Blues in the Night&quot; - Kenichi co-designed the set for that and it&#39;s Off-Broadway now.<br />
<br />
it&#39;s funny you should ask about rights - yes, we do have a challenge since we are so close to both SF and Sacramento.  WE&#39;ve lost the rights to &quot;Art&quot; twice, but are finally doing it this summer.  Same goes for &quot;I Love You, You&#39;re Perfect, Now Change&quot; and &quot;You&#39;re a Good Man, Charlie Brown&quot;.  Both of those have been yanked from us before.  our biggest success to date is that we have won the rights to be the first non-professional theater in California to produce &quot;The Fully Monty.&quot;  it has done our season a world of good.  Our general manager spent many years in various pits on Broadway and in fact, conducted &quot;Sweeney Todd&quot; with Angela Langsbury. That has certainly helped us along.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to a quiet weekend around here.  Hope everyone else has exactly the weekend they are hoping for.<br />
<br />
Cheers&#33;<br />
<br />
Charlie
