Its been 3 of the dreariest days I can recall...not a speck of sunshine peeking through the gray clouds...enuf to make me dream of a tropical island, warm sand, blue waters and lots of sun. I suppose this is our winter. I'm not complaining, there are other parts of the country really suffering with ice and snow, so I'll sit here and count my blessings.

**********************************************************

Speaking of blessings..one came my way today. I've been invited to direct a show for a local theater group. For many years, I was involved in a theater group in my home town and I count those years as some of the best in my life.

The show I've been asked to direct is: "Extremities". I saw it as a tv movie some years ago starring Farrah Faucet.
It's pretty dramatic but the kind of thing I enjoy doing.
Auditions will be the first week of February with production slated for the end of March. Should be pretty exciting...at least for me. I haven't directed a show in a long time but I think it's one of those things like riding a bicycle...it all comes back to ya..at least I hope so.

Went to see my friendly family physician today and as expected, he's set me up for more tests and a visit to another specialist. In the meantime, he has written yet another prescription to try for the pain..keep your fingers crossed that this one works. I asked him for a body transplant but he didn't seem to think that was much of a possibility...maybe the guy is just a quack. *sigh*

I'm still working on getting my mom's recipes translated into measurements other than pinch, handfull, a little bit, some and about. In all the years I watched her cook, I don't think I ever saw her use a measuring cup or spoon.

That's about all that's goin on in this neck of the woods. I hope you are all safe from bad weather and living well.

peace.
