Monday Wild Card — 6.29.09

Today is the 180th day of 2009. There are 185 days left in the year. On this day in history: In 1972, the Supreme Court ruled the death penalty as it was being meted out could constitute “cruel and unusual punishment.” In 2003, actress Katharine Hepburn died in Old Saybrook, Conn., at age 96. Actor Gary Busey is 65. In the news this evening, LBGT attendees at the Pride Month reception at the White House gave President Obama a warm reception today here. And the Monday Wild Card is in play …

    Flying back to the beautiful Inland Northwest at Oh-Dark-Thirty tomorrow morning! Four short years in NH and another life’s chapter, coming to a close. But what a summer it shall be.

    Hey - does anyone have a way of getting comp (or discount) tickets to go see CDA Summer Theatre’s production of “The Producers”? I looked online and they’re $40 a pop - a little spendy for Spazz and I since we just paid for our commitment ceremony. (Photos coming soon!)

    Any leads or assitance would be appreciated!

    Digger,

    Unbelievable. You’ve been married/committed for less than six months and you’re already complaining about being broke. Welcome to marriage pal.
    You better clear that purchase with the significant other before this escalates to flow blown situation.

    Get NetFlix and the problem is solved!

    Mike S, One of the courts at Coeur d Alene High School has a tennis wall, as well.

    Thanks so much for the information on the tennis courts, as I need to get my game back.
