I had a great time viewing "Hairspray" in Spokane this afternoon with my wife and Amy Dearest at the Spokane Opera House. (Note to Self -- make sure you get the sound track to that one.) Amy has instilled in me a love for theater with her involvement in drama at the high school and college levels and her continuing involvement in theater. I've seen all the Coeur d'Alene Summer Theater plays for the last 3-4 years. The Summer Theater got a little racy this year with "A Chorus Line" and "Pippin." And it'll continue that string with "The Full Monty" next year. I may have to skip that one. Somehow, I'm not enthused about a play that has middle-age guys flashing their wares. (Do I have the gist of the play right?). Anyway, 'twas nice to break up winter with a Broadway touring company production. The wins by the 'Hawks and Washington State made the day even brighter. If we stick together, we can all make it through winter. Now, for your Wild Card ...
