Champions!
1 Congrats this morning to the Class of '06 for their FANTASTICS victory on Friday night! That's no small task, believe me! Besides having to control everything you could possibly control, you have to win the GAMES, and that's just not that easy to do.
2 So congrats! And congrats to the whole school once more for coming together with a really fun evening that brings everyone home. Nice to touch home every now and again.
3 Still more congrats: Last week the Choir went over to Evergreen for the District Choir Festival, and by the time I got word on how they did, it was already the weekend. On Friday I talked with Ms. Hooper, and she told me that the Choir just kicked it into gear and took people to school!
4 I saw that one coming in the Fall at the Winter Concert. You guys have gotten great; I came in and gave a listen right before you guys left, and trust me, you are all very much the real deal!
5 So it's a Monday of congratulations!
6 Moving on: Our musical, My Favorite Things, ran into some trouble on Saturday, looking and sounding quite flat and quite worrisome. I kept them there until almost 7 p.m. By the end of the day, we turned all of it around. And yesterday we moved in and completely gave the stage a beautiful makeover! It has gone from shriveled and dusty-black to an explosively beautiful, colorful set!
7 I wisely canceled this weekend's performances so we could use the time to rehearse and get sharp.
8 Last night I got home and tried to write the DN, but I was SO exhausted from this entire weekend, including FANTASTICS, that I kept falling asleep on the keyboard.
9 I kept waking up to an entire page of the letter "d", no idea why, except that's what happened.
10 Sort of like this: dddddddddddddddddddddddddd
only it went all across the page and into my kitchen.
11 I followed it to the fridge and had a baloney sandwich, like Yogi Bear sleepwalking.
12 Hey, that's a good name for a rock band.
13 No, it isn't.
14 I nid more slip.
15 I just got word that it's supposed to rain into the next decade. Someone swiped my umbrella. I loved my umbrella, and when I catch the guy...
Conspiracy Guy says he's somewhere in this picture.
16 Hold it. We interrupt this DN with a special useless bulletin!I have to go outside and turn off my automatic sprinklers. I SWEAR they just went on. And why wouldn't they?
17 Okay. Whew. Helene just pushed this button that says, "Rain delay". Evidently, watering a lawn is sort of like a baseball game. Who knew? We ought really to push that button for the rest of the decade.
18 I looked out the window only to see my neighbor working on something in his driveway, something that looks suspiciously like an Ark...
19 There's only one guy who would be doing that. There was a rainbow over his garage, so I gotta be wonderin'. Here's a picture I took of the guy when I schlogged out to the driveway in my boxers to get the morning paper:
20 That guy's always trying to one-up everybody.
21 He CLAIMS this is him:
22 I say horse manure.
23 Anyway, this is getting all over the place, like a dripping wet Mr. Chau sans umbrella, so I think I'll just bow out gracefully.
24 It's supposed to be a congratulatory DN, but the rain seems just to want to keep on top of the news this whole year. No point in daylight savings time. My crops are all soaked.
25 I have to go anyway; it's collaboration, and I'm thinking I'd better collaborate over to Long's and buy a new umbrella.
26 I loved the other one. I hope it surfaces.
27 Opening Day. Go Giants. Go A's. Go away Barry.
28 Just a parting shot. I'll go now.
29 Stay out of the rain.
30 Peace.
