The Daily News
1 Ever wonder why we spend so much of our lives waiting?
2 I just thought of that tonight.
3 This week, for example, there are people waiting or all sorts of things.
4 Every week, actually.
5 People are waiting for Thursday, for example, because they have a Pigeon Players closing weekend coming up. Their show is called All in the Timing, and it goes up this weekend, Thursday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m, and Sunday at 3 p.m. It is a David Ives smorgasbord, with such great pieces as Variations on the Death of Trotsky, Universal Language, Captive Audience, Sure Thing, The Philadelphia, and Words, Words, Words. These shows are superb, professionally handled, and pretty darned funny!
6 AND they are essentially free, but a donation would really show a lot of class. Especially if it's a handsome donation! The show runs almost exactly 2 hours, from start to finish, so it's just a great time!
7 Waiting.
8 People are waiting for Friday, because on Friday we are turning the entire theatre around to host a Music in the Parks festival as a fundraiser for our awesome musicians at the school. That event goes Saturday morning as well.
9 And waiting.
10 Saturday night is the big one. People are waiting for the Senior Ball, which takes place at the downtown Marriott this year. What a night! Always memorable, and always one of the best nights of the year. The stress of asking people to go, of being asked, of getting the money together, of getting dressed, making plans, doing hair, nails, hairspray, glitter and all the rest makes up for it in a razzle-dazzle time. Good luck to everyone on that; I'll never forget ours last year. What a night!
11 So...we're just waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
12 Some people are waiting for the school year to end, and for long-awaited summer to greet all of us with a huge smile.
13 Some are just waiting for the end of each day.
14 Some are waiting for happy things.
15 Some are just waiting to find something out.
16 Some are waiting for the sunset.
17 We just spend so much of our time waiting, it seems.
18 A lot of the time, I just look up at all of it and smile a small smile.
19 I guess I'm just waiting too.
20 Have a great day.
21 Peace.
