Why am I doing this again?

It's totally mind-boggling what they end up doing. One of mine (I think it was him) started a small software company and sold it. Sheesh!

Another ended up in a doctoral program in osteology at UC San Francisco and had a summer internship . . . in Kenya . . . with the Leakeys!

Just goes to show that you never know . . .

Do you know that one of my former students is about to graduate with a film degree from the University of Kansas?

I have footage of him as the Cowardly Lion in Wizard of Oz.

I told him - you ever get on the tonight show - I'd love a shout out.

At least. And a glowing one at that.

And that's Ms. Bitch, baby.

Or Queen Bitch.

Oh, but that sweet pink stuff can be quite effective if you chew it just enough and "accidentally" flick it into the little darlings' hair.

I like your style

I like the fun ways, the ones that used to be legal

Definitely Queen Bitch.

You know, the most marvelous thing is watching how they learn, grow, step up and take charge - how these shy kids can transform before your eyes into something amazing.

It changes them - forever, really. Experiences like this stay with them for life.

I had a great rapport with Mr. Marks, my high school drama teacher. The lessons he taught me have extended throughout my life in just about every endeavor I've had. Especially when I was an investigator.

You sounded so positive when you first told us about the play. Cheer up, Sweet. I throw a toast of rum in your general direction.

It will be fine. I've seen your work.

You know me so well.

I wish!

But I was going to edit to just say "You're welcome" instead of flogging you with the obvious, but on second thought...whap, whap

 

[Safe_Bet]

Thank you for the rum.

I'm just tired and needed a night to vent. (And drink.) I'd rather not scream at the kids. Venting here is healthier.

This is pretty much a normal part of any production, when you reach the point of maximum frustration. The Halloween timing hurts, too. Dang, they're silly right now.

They'll be better next dress rehearsal.

Still, I think I'd pay money to watch you go postal on everybody. I'd prolly ruin the effect though when I started giggling.

Don't be embarassed...you're absolutely right.

Some of my fondest memories from high school are those dealing with My Fair Lady, Guys and Dolls and the most fun I ever had was doing The King and I.

Every year when the Egyptian Parade comes out I am almost incoherant by the time I call "Places!" The the music comes over the PA system, the heralds blow a fanfare (of sorts), the dancers start and everything is wonderful . . . every . . . damned . . . time.

Oh, no, JBJ.

You really don't understand at all.

Students are not tools at all. They are the finished product. (or at this age, works in constant progress)

The production is secondary.

Exactly, the production is only the means to the end. Educated, involved citizens are the final product.
