So glad you guys had a nice time.

Happy Anniversary to us
Happy Anniversary to us
Happy Anniversary dear Tful and hubby
Happy Anniversary to us.

29 years and still counting.

I offer up 2 secrets to our success:

1. Whenever anything goes wrong, don't blame each other...blame the cat.

2. Don't ever split up. If you do, that means one of you will get stuck with the cat!

Ha! A cat full of resentment at being blamed for everything for 29 years!

Happy anniversary!

Arky, not problem at all...I figured you knew we were sure you'd arrived intact.

Speaking of which, have found nothing you left behind so that's probably a relief...ha!

We sooooo enjoyed your company this weekend and it was great to see Bob so I'm actually thinking the train did us a favor. Did he like his gift?

What a great weekend!

As for Amtrack, sounds like you'd get there faster on Greyhound even with the longer scheduled trip time. When I rode them they seemed to be on schedule, but this was 20 years ago so I have no idea what they're like now.

Congratulations Thoughtfuls!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE THOUGHTFULS!!! And many more happy years together!

You'd get there faster on the back of a greyhound dog.

Thanks Judith! Bob and I talked on the way home about how fun that dinner was. He had a good time all around.

And he LOVES his GPS.He's spent hours playing with it and reading the manual (he's one of those "manual readers" who can actually use all the features on any device he buys).

(((envious)))

22025. arkymalarky - 6/19/2007 12:53:00 AM

Yeah, me too.

22026. Ms. No - 6/19/2007 4:33:19 AM

So, we're doing a segment on the local Public Radio station this Thursday to promote the play. I have no idea what all will be involved but I think we're doing a scene or part of one although I haven't yet been told what it is.

Anyway, it can be heard online here: Insight on Capital Public Radio. This Thursday from 2-3 PST it'll stream live, but we're not the only segment on the show. I think they do three per show and I've no idea what order we'll fall in.

And yes, before anyone gets alarmed I'm aware that they'll probably put my whole name out there, but I figure most everyone here already knows it and if any of you reallly wanted to kill me I'd've been dead years ago. ;->

22027. Ms. No - 6/19/2007 4:38:18 AM

It occurs to me that I'm a bit premature with all of this but I'm kind of amped up over the whole thing. The next thought that runs through my head is "What if we get panned?"

And then I think about the show and how good everyone is and I figure the play might not be to somebody's taste, but we probably don't have to worry about sucking rocks as performers. It's a really great cast.

I do know that the reviewer for the Sacramento Bee (the main newspaper here) absolutely loathes Neil LaBute as a playwright so I'm hoping he can either overcome that and be objective or that he'll send somebody else to review us in his place, but whatever happens happens. I'm not intending to read any reviews at all until we're done. It would freak me out.

22028. judithathome - 6/19/2007 4:44:13 AM

That's a good idea...my friend who's a director advises the actors in his charge not to read the reviews for at least a week after it comes out. He reads them right off, of course, and if he agrees with something the reviewer said about a particular actor, he will try to correct it but if he disagrees, it's hard for him to keep quiet about the review.

Just keep in mind, it's only one man's opinion...and I think if the reviewer has been around a long time, the readership knows his quirks and preferences.

22029. Ms. No - 6/19/2007 5:19:45 AM

Yeah, I figure it's the director's worry. I don't want to see anything bad OR good that might affect my performance --- it's the director's vision that I have to adhere to and she'll tell me what she wants.

Not that I don't hope for good reviews, of course!

22030. thoughtful - 6/19/2007 1:46:43 PM

Thanks guys for the well wishes.

So cool about the play and being on radio. I'm sure you'll do just great. Break a leg!

22031. Ms. No - 6/19/2007 3:31:08 PM

Thanks, T'ful!

22032. wonkers2 - 6/19/2007 10:48:16 PM

Can we look forward to seeing Ms. No on YouTube?

22033. Ms. No - 6/20/2007 7:58:20 AM

Ha! Not a chance --- they don't film any of the shows and we mostly keep all our clothes on in the love scenes so no YouPorn either so the Cap'n will be disappointed too. ;->

22034. wonkers2 - 6/20/2007 4:39:00 PM

What a shame! What a waste of talent!
