Greetings all from Stockton&#33;  We have another cool day (low 80&#39;s) ahead of us and last night was so deliciously cool for sleeping.  <br />
<br />
We are still waiting for Fundraiser to trouble shoot their problem.  i worked in the office for four hours waiting for a call back from two service requests.  The new box office person starts training today, so that burden is off my shoulders for awhile.  It&#39;ll be nice to do something else for a bit.<br />
<br />
Am also looking forward to a night off from the theater - no rehearsals now until Sunday...maybe.  We have a dance troup in next week and we are supposed to be rehearsing in their space as opposed to the stage, so we shall see.  We had to block the fight scene last night and the guys <br />
were just crazy- you could tell they were getting really tired.<br />
<br />
Got an 8 a.m. to smog the car today - Shari, you asked what smogging is.  We have to take the cars in to pass a smog test to assure that the cars are burning clean and not polluting.  We have the tighest regs in the country and this is always an anxious moment as reparis and retesting can get into the hundreds or dollars.<br />
<br />
Nothing much on the books for the rest of today  - I have a painting to do - white background with white diagonal lines with one horizontal white line...why I&#39;m bothering to paint the canvas is beyond me...<br />
<br />
Mary Lou - congrats on your new &#39;arrival&#39;.  Hope you get lots of use out of your new machine.  I wasn&#39;t keen on laptops until we got one and now I don&#39;t know if I could handle a regular computer.<br />
<br />
SmooCruise - I am in the theater, although am now in a small community theater following a broken back and permanent disability from my college.  i used to work as a scenic artist and Scene Shop foreperson and it literally smooshed my spine into fragments.  Stockton Civic is less than a block from our house, so I volunteer there and am currently working as the stage manager for &quot;Art&quot;.   It&#39;s great fun&#33;  What show were you in?  yes, you&#39;re right, theater is a lot of work and will take every moment of time that you give it - it&#39;s a like a sponge, but some of us just can&#39;t seem to escape the gravational pull.<br />
<br />
On that cheery note, here&#39;s wishing everyone a grand day with painting, chores, baby cuddles and anything else that brings a smile to your lips.<br />
<br />
Cheers&#33;<br />
<br />
