WKRP in my neck of the woods

I don't know why this has made me so giddy, but last night I went to a play that is part of an International Mystery Writers' Theater Festival being hosted here. I don't think I realized what a big deal it was that my little city was sponsoring this, but it all came to light when I realized that the villian in the play I was watching was none other than Gary Sandy. Surely you remember him from "WKRP in Cincinnati". Oh how I love my 70s and 80s sitcom celebrities. (Apparently Harry Anderson is appearing as well. Remember the judge from "Night Court"?)

All I need now is for it to rain turkeys and my day will be complete.

One play down, three to go.

(The festival hosts first-time run plays written by writers all over the country. The plays are judged by a panel including Angela Lansbury as well as an audience critique.)

Sun's shining in

It's Sunday yet again. . . and the weekend is winding to a close. It's been a good few days off and even though we have a busy week ahead, it's going to be a good week, I think.

On Friday I made my way to an open house/grand opening at a yarn shoppe I had visited for the first time only last week. I came home with some yarn fit for dyeing, a few additional goodies and a door prize of my very own. I made it home in time for Cynical and I to head out for dinner.
The next morning we parted ways; Cynical headed to assist his folks' in a move as I had to attend a little volunteer board retreat. At the end of the day he was still hard at work as I was making my way home. We had planned for me to join him, but my obligation ran late and soon his would be wrapping up; so I headed home alone. Ever so tired, I napped and caught up on all that we had procrastinated throughout the week.

Cynical made it home tired, sore and ready for a warm shower. Eager to join him in relaxing, we watched a few movies and made the best of what little time we had together. (Seems we are certainly getting our money's worth out of our Blockbuster All Access membership. . . perhaps we are enjoying it too much as it's keeping us indoors during this incredible weather.)

This morning I awoke to a terrible headache, a side effect of some new medications, and have been battling it all day. I am hopeful it will subside soon so that I can join Cynical in running some errands and enjoying this beautiful day.

This week I am going to attend several performances as part of a Mystery Writer's Theater being hosted by our community. Luckily my movie partner was as enthusiastic, so I have a partner in crime for three of the multiple viewing opportunities.

I am off to take a shower in an attempt to spur my energy and rid me of this awful headache. Medications: seems you can't live with them and you certainly can't live without them.
