Another show, any takers?

Okay, here's the story on this one. This is a really funny show and I just happen to have tickets for this show too. My mom and I bought tickets for the Peoria Players season, and since she saw this with me at Corn Stalk a couple years ago, she gave me her ticket. I have one extra free ticket for Urinetown. I'd be pleased as punch if you wanted to go with me to this show and/or Chicago. Please let me know ASAP because I have to call to reserve seats.

One of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, URINETOWN is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. URINETOWN catapults the “comedic romp” into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.

Show Dates & Times:

May 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 @ 7:30 pm
May 4 & 11 @ 2:30 pm

Join me for an evening?

So, I bought tickets last year for Chicago when they went on sale. I think my seats are for the first row in the second balcony. I'm still able to go, but am looking for someone to go with me. It'd be nice to get a little money for the ticket, but more important to me is finding someone to join me. The details for the show and date are below.

May 10, 2008, 8 p.m.
Theater - Broadway Theater
“Chicago” is the story of seductive nightclub dancer Roxie Hart who finds the road to fame can be a trial of blood. Throw in a cunning lawyer and a bit of razzle dazzle and Roxie goes from cold hearted killer to the toast of the town. Murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery are the cornerstones of this sultry and alluring Broadway musical hit.

My car window is fixed?

This is what my car door looked like after Dad disassembled it to fix the window. I was leaving the dealership after an oil change earlier in the week, and I heard a clunk, thud when I closed the door. Dad was kind enough to take a stab at fixing it, and there were no leftover parts when he was done. The window goes up and down as smooth as _______ (fill in the blank, my mind just went blank.)

Note: All people that were crazy enough to sell their house prior to buying one have now bought a house. Phew, nobody will have to be homeless for long!

I saw Pod People!

You never know what will happen on your day off. I helped Laura pack most of the day... and we even had to call Grandpa for some specialty help. Wowsers, do retired people ever have a high hourly rate... and I thought it would be a lower hourly wage since it wasn't the weekend. Nah, I'm just kidding. It was a fun day of assisting Grandpa with the gas project at Tom and Laura's. The other excitement of the day was the delivery and packing of the POD!
As you can see, the truck was just as wide as the driveway. All things considering, him taking out 3 landscaping bricks wasn't too bad.This photo shows the truck at the far side, then the hydraulic frame on wheels that unloaded and moved the POD, and of course the 16 foot POD. As Sandra mentioned, the guy that delivered the POD was probably that guy in school that won all the stuffed animals out of the claw/crane machine at the arcade. It was insane to see how he got the POD placed on Tom and Laura's "half" of the shared driveway.

Can't find a cat?

When I can't find Velma, I've learned to look up because she has at least a 4 foot vertical.
