I guess the question for me is how do I start this blog? Really much has happened since my last entry on October 16th, and I don't want to bore you, yet I need to write a reasonable report.
So Lets Start in with light information and go from there.
First as you can see. Well, if you turn your head sideways I have officially broke the 200lbs mark. Now that is not the biggest thing ever, but it is pretty neat.
Also, I hosted Thanksgiving Dinner for the first time in two years.
This is a view from the Good-Year Blimp coverage of the meal.
Look New China! The Set Came with a really cool Gravy Boat
So How Showed up for dinner.
Well, Fred as we call him "Funny Fred" and we had as you can see my Dad, we call him "Insane Dad". You can See Malia was there, "Bob the neighbor calls her Moo-lee-a"
Chad was there! He pealed over 10lbs of potatoes. He is quite the pealing machine.
Chad tried to make a funny joke during the football game and just wind up breaking the cover to the food platter. It was funny because it was not funny.
That is why we don't call him funny Chad. Even though Most times Chad does make funnies. Like the time he said "The clerk just wanted to see what 210 looked like." Total out of context and I am not going to explain that.
Finally Max and Lucky were at dinner. Notice their shinny eyes. That is because they are dogs. I did not set them a seat at the table, because they really don't care about the new china and could care less about the Gravy Boat.
However, interesting news Tim Yates has been teaching Max how to do Calculus in his head.
Tim says "Max Sit" Max Sits. Then "Max do Calculus in your head" Max gives him this quizzical look as if he is trying to solve the problem. I really think he is trying, I just don't think we will ever know if he has solved the problem. Tim is convinced that he is now a higher educational dog trainer.
This is Jeff Allen. He Really does do Calculus. He is an engineer for San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. He also plays Ernie in the play. His wife Katherine plays Mother Bailey.
Not only is Jeff a cool guy, but he helps sneaks me out during intermission so I can smoke.
This here is Glenda Wright. She is playing the roll of Aunt Tilly. She is a fun lady. The first night she and Robert Purcell, who is playing Uncle Billy, met me in the "Green Room" to go over a scene she listen to me read and then looked at Robert and said "Robert, help the boy out, show him how to learn his lines." I knew right there I was total out of my league and listen with both ears.
About a week later she looked at me and said. "Wow! do you have patience!" Then kissed my face and said "Your going to be alright! Good Job" That was when I knew everything was going in the right direction.
Now this is interesting.. Here is Robert! He is the Shorter one standing and reading. More about him next blog. Cool Guy! Then there is Michael as Potter in the Wheel Chair, and Frank as the Goon.
Actually I am not quite sure what is so Interesting, but I do know that these three Guys are great Actors and fun to be around. No I guess that is interesting.
Here are some more of the cast in action
Katherine Allen as Ma Bailey.
She is Jeff's wife we talked about Jeff earlier.
She has her own identity as well. Very nice lady
Bill Goff...
He plays Clarence the guardian Angel. Neat news about Bill he was a Prebyterian Minster and now works for the IRS. What a combination for a guardian Angel. "I'll Take it!"
Now I am spiritually and financially looked after.
From Left to Right!
Stephen Saatjian... Mr. Martini
Jeff Allen... Erine
Blurry Picture of Frank Aranda...Goon and Mr. Welch
And Christopher Veal... Burt. Opening night I kissed "Burt" On stage in one of the scenes. He was not quite ready for that.
Did get a laugh though.
Dennis Paulson plays Mr. Gower..
The two boys are
Noah Canty...Peter Bailey
Casey Corbett... Pete Bailey
From Right to Left:
The Tallest one that is...
Linsey Martensen she plays Miss Carter.. She will also be playing Mary on the 13 and 15 of Decemeber.
Parissema Movaghar is playing Janie Bailey
and the small head without a face is Brooke Steuckrath.. She plays Zuzu. She will be posted later don't worry. She is as cute as a button.
Here is Matt Dodd.. He plays Brother Harry
and left of him is Stacy Newton.. Violet Peterson
Let us say that in the Beginning Matt was not too positive on my acting ability. He didn't say anything, but you can see it. So later on during the production he came up to me and said.
Man, I was scared when I met you. I said because of my strong personality. No, he said, because you couldn't act.
Thanks Matt. "Cool Dude"
So this is Mary Bailey or as she like to be called Jennifer Hartline.
She is a very talented. After I met her I asked Malia if she thought she would go out with me. Malia said "No!" I said "Why?" She said "Because of her boyfriend Cory. " I said "So if I get rid of Cory you would be Ok?" She said "No!" What a bummer that was.
Anyway, it turns out Cory is a old friend of the Hirchag's so well I guess he is family. Doesn't that just suck.
A side note. She wears this perfume that I swear has some type of animal
pheromone in it.
Speaking of Pheromones it seems that this tiger liked me. She saw me got up and then "sprayed" looked in my direction and roared.
Malia's mother said. "I think she likes you!" Great I am George Baily and the only pussy coming my way weights more than 300lbs and will eat me alive if I don't perform. Well at least she has pretty eyes.
Love this Ape. I think it is neat that he is a Rodin fan.
Anyway, I also want to mention the a few more people of the cast. I just don't have photos of them they are
Ginger Griffith... She plays Mrs Martini
and Brandee Proctor... She plays Mrs. Thompson.
So Far So Good. I Think! or at least me and the Ape are
contemplating!
Thank you all for coming to last weeks opening weekend, and looking forward to seeing the rest of you during the run.
God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving for everything everyday!
