Dear Everyone:
Thought for the day:
Organization gives you the illusion that you're in control.
As for the Christmas Questionnaire, so far I've
gotten three (3) returns. That
works out to about 50%, a pretty high response rate.
All three picked Option Number 1.
As for the non-responses (you
know who you are), they count as proxies which I get to vote.
Okay, if you are what we used to call "a Wood
Child", you will find an envelope in this week's Letter, containing the
name of the person for whom you will get a Christmas Gift this year.
Everyone got a person and no one
got the same person as last year. If
you don't remember who you got last year, trust me. I kept a list.
That's called being organized.
Next, the tickets have arrived from Ashland and our
rooms at the Marc Anthony are reserved. The plays are as follows:
Tuesday 6/29/93 A
Flea in Her Ear Tuesday 6/29/93 The
White Devil Wednesday 6/30/93
Richard III Wednesday 6/30/93
Antony and Cleopatra Thursday 7/1/93 Free afternoon (shopping!!!) Thursday 7/1/93 A
Midsummer’s Night’s Dream
The tickets are $24 each, so that's $120 per
person. Cash, checks and all
major credit cards accepted (but not returned).
How's that for organized?
Thanksgiving was quiet, albeit slightly sticky in
places. “Jeannie” was opening a
jar of sweet pickles for me when they suddenly seemed to take on a life
of their own. Not to worry, I had
something she could wear while we popped her things into the washer.
The sweet pickles were in memory of those great
watermelon pickles that Mother used to make.
Someone at work once brought in a
jar of commercially bottled watermelon pickles and we all tried some.
Compared to Mother’s, they were,
in a word, pathetic.
Aside from finding sticky spots to wipe up, I
pretty much spent the Thanksgiving week quietly.
We only went to one movie,
Dracula.
It was okay; but
Coppola
fell into the same trap that they all do.
He couldn't resist showing more of the Count than Stoker ever
intended. Only
Steven Spielberg
realized (in
Jaws) that not
knowing where and what the danger is can be more terrifying than
actually seeing it. Oh well,
undoubtedly someone else will remake the movie again and maybe then
they'll get it right.
Just think, only three (3) working weeks left in
this year.
Love, as always,
Pete
