Be Back Soon

I had a day off last night, so I went to see some of my friends in Oliver! at Toby's The Dinner Theatre of Baltimore. It was very strange to see/hear a show that I just did (not too long ago) 95 times. My brain is just so used to Hugh, Janine, Tony and everyone else; the way they deliver lines, the timbre of their voices, etc etc. It was a weird feeling. Anyway, it was nice to see so many great people. We of corse ventured to the hotspot near Toby's called The Ponca Bird after the show. It is one of my favorite places, while also being one of the strangest bars I've ever been to. It is next to a truck stop. So, when we go it is truckers on one side of the bar and theatre folk on the other. A fascinating mix of people. They have a BBQ Chicken Sandwich that is superb (another thing one wouldn't expect from this bar when you walk in, pretty yummy food.) All in all it is a gem of a place, and I love it and the company I'm in when I'm there.

Each year, when April 1 comes around, I try to remain on high alert so as not to become totally embarrassed by someone's April Fool's Day plot. Well, I was on such high alert yesterday that I embarrassed myself. Dan sent me a text about how he had gotten sick on the way to rehearsal. It was a long story via text, which I promptly replied to with "Oh no. Well, tell me when the lochness monster gets there!" I thought I was being funny and clever. After he convinced me he wasn't making it up, I felt pretty stupid. A moment of stellar friendship brought to you by Jeffrey Higgins. He starts Tech tomorrow for his show, so here's to hoping he feels better this morning.

Unfortunately, the Wing Tour was not continued this week due to the hours I had to work. Also, it will not continue next week either as I'll hopefully be home for a few days. So, look for an update on the rankings in two weeks. I am hoping to get a meal in at Bidwell's while I am home, though! YUM!

I won the NCAA Tournament pool at my work! I'm far enough ahead that it doesn't matter who wins tomorrow or on Monday. It's over. I'm not sure yet how much I win but it was $10 to join the pool and the winner takes everything. In Brian's Tournament pool I can still finish Second. It all depends on West Virginia beating Duke. Go Mountaineers! That being said, if Duke wins then Robert wins Brian's pool. I can deal with that. I'll just spend his money anyway!!! hahaha. I do enjoy that fact that Brian's pool comes down to my dear friend Stephen, who follows college basketball more than anyone I know and Robert, who (though he'd never admit it) simply picks Duke every year because he knows it upsets me. In the end, I say Go UConn! More tomorrow. weeeeeeeeee!
