today is a good day

I feel good today. I was suffering from a nagging back ache (just thank goodness it was not sciatica this time - I have to get steroid shots in my back with that one). I think I exercised crookedly and caused the ache. But now it is gone and I feel great. the sun is shining and the air is cool (for July!). I got a lot people chuckling with my chapter 23. Phew. I was worried about it.

Now today, I have some association business stuff to work on and I must finish my play reading. I have five plays to comment on and I need to get it done quickly. Hope they are better than ones the previous play reading committee chose. Last years plays were ghastly.

One playwright that I find humorous is Bruce Kane. I love his stuff. Ruby and In the Beginning are my favorite plays. To get a glimpse of his plays click here: http://www.kaneprod.com/index.htm

I also found a good British Play - The Hair of the Dog. It is set in Las Vegas. Three couples go there to celebrate two of them getting married in a few weeks. One make wakes up in a bed with his pants missing and his wallet gone. Sitting in the chair next to him is a woman he knows but is not the one he went to Las Vegas with! It is a fun, fun play.

I also found a murder mystery with 6 endings. We put on our plays at the clubhouse in the big room off of the dining room. Unlike all of the other theater groups we are the only ones to actually have the opportunity to stage a dinner play. Unfortunately, no one before me could see the possibilities. I had them try a Murder Mystery dinner show last year and the tickets sold out in 15 minutes. It was well received by everyone. So now I plan to push for at least one dinner play each season. The clubhouse restaurant manager is interested. What fun!

Well, first I have to find plays worthy of $35 dollars per person for a dinner show. We only charge $8 for our plays and I do believe we can come up with a wonderful dinner or buffet for the rest.

well gotta go read. Perhaps it will get me in the mood to work on my other story! yep, I have a short humorous story in the works. A little thing to keep my mind sharp. Maybe 10-12 chapters. And I would try to make it funny. I like to laugh.

till tomorrow
