The last post introduced the new header and BlogRoll page. Some of you may have noticed other new pages as well … but they aren’t really new because they were sub-pages before, and I don’t think they worked well that way.
During the break I prepared not one, but two cartoon posts, so this weekend is as good as any to have a cartoon post!
The next musical is preparing for the premier. I consider opening night being during my first week back, but wisdom has prevailed. After all, I don’t want to jeopardize a sellout. Nonetheless, the production team is aiming for a March 25th opening of the yet-to-be-announced musical. I can say this, it will be shorter than Life: The Musical.
I’m not sure if next week will be a full posting week or not, but I will be posting something.
Because I haven’t looked at The Onion in two weeks, here’s a snippet of what I’ve missed:
- Man who stops dieting already seeing results
- 13-year old drinking prodigy accepted to college
- Passenger feels sorry for flustered toddler travelling with loud, obnoxious parents
- God shoots himself while cleaning gun
- Mitt Romney thinking about running for president in 2012

As always this is a fun post! Love the opening image!? HA. I rather like open umbrella indoor day! But I am also intrigued by Children Craft Day. I am trying hard to imagine what to make with some of the local kids. That celebration makes me think of the great line by Lily Tomlin: “So peanuts make peanut oil–just what is used to make baby oil?” Have a fun weekend. I am looking forward to your cartoons and next musical.

That a way … now you think like me! I imagine the new musical will initially get some heads scratching, but we’ll be fine. It is warming … Except for the piles, the snow is gone. The grass is very soggy, the river waters are rising, so the floods are on the way … and today we expect a good dose of rain. Welcome to early spring. Then again, much better than the 8 feet of snow that an Italian village received yesterday.
