Note worthy

Hello all,

On a very sad note:

A friend of the family has passed away. I went to school with his son and his wife is one of my mom's best friends; it happened over night and it was very unexpected. My thoughts go out to his entire family.

On a hilarious note:

During the day Dad and I received phone calls about our friend's passing. With each call we learned a little more of what actually happened, but it wasn't until my uncle called when we got the final word. My dad had just stepped into the shower, but I thought he would want to know the news as soon as possible so I yelled through the door who had called and what he said. Unexpectedly to me, Dad opened the door and had me recite what I had said again in greater detail while he stood there naked.

Now, let me state there is nothing funny about the passing of this person in any way, shape, or form, but this time will always be remembered to me with the shape and form of my dad's freshly showered pink body emblazoned in the forefront of my mind.

There is just no preparing for that. When did it become OK to talk to your family members naked? NEVER! I don't even walk around in tank tops, that's how uncomfortable I feel with family on family nudity. I don't care if you do own the house, or you want to get a better listen to what I am saying, put on some G.D. clothes. Yeesh!, Yikes!, and Yeow! Get outta my head!

On a personal note:

I think I may be growing crazy eyebrows. Not on purpose, of course! But everyday I look at my eyebrows and they are getting longer and far too wild.

When I was at Butler, the teacher who played Drossylmeyer every year in The Nutcracker gave me his make up case when I had to play the dog in Cinderella. He was retiring and had no use for it. It was very thoughtful and in the bottom of the case he had also bestowed upon me his stage eye brows; two strips of bushy, inch long, white hair that he would affix to his forehead to look old and crazy (like he needed much help).

Now every time I see my blondish-ed eyebrows in the mirror I think that I will end up some old community fop who is cast in every show because he is needlessly dramatic and already had his own pair of crazy stage eye brows.........but they're real!!!!



I know everybody has already seen this, but I was just so moved and it meant so much to me to see someone say this so honestly and clearly. And I want him to be my husband, but that's a whole 'nother post. Everyone should go and see Milk, if you know a gay, are a gay, interested in learning more about the gays and how we're not going to take over the world in an evil empire and redecorate you living room, go see Milk. It's amazing. And here is Sean Penn, who did an amazing job in Milk as well.



Go see it in the theaters if you can, but it also comes out on DVD on March 10th
