Merry Hucksters; I’m simply going to play a Wild Card for you today — and save OrangeTV’s column and the print Huckleberries for discussion Monday. For those who can’t wait for those two columns or others by Nils Rosdahl, Betsy Russell & Michelle Boss, you can look for the Handle Extra in your home subscription of the SR or pick it up on news stands. It’s worth a couple of quarters. Meanwhile, I’m enjoying a four-day visit from Amy Dearest, who joined Mrs. O and I last night to watch the Spokane Civic Theatre’s production of “Godspell” in the Studio Theater, with Coeur d’Alene’s Robby French playing the lead. A good time was had by us three. At one point, I became part of the props when actress Emily Baynes sat in my lap while singing, “Turn Back, O Man.” Earlier, I was a prop for Robby during a pantomime part of the play. I was tempted to take a bow with the rest of the cast at the end. You can use this Wild Card to tell us if you’ve ever appeared on stage for a play. Or simply to start your own thread …

I had two very special visits today, one from Don Sausser and his wife, and the other from a long time blurker and sometimes blogger, Chatterbox. I loved them both, as it made my day and reinforces why I do what I do. I sit and watch the world go by on days such as this, with no one out and my mind at peace. But, on occasion, people from this blog just stop by on a whim, like Chatterbox, and it makes my day. Such a nice woman is she, I hope she doesn’t mind me saying so.

I took my two boys to see “James and the Giant Peach” last Thursday at the Lake City Playhouse and it was well-done and good for kids. The production isn’t very long and full of enough funny lines and visual design to hold the interest of my finicky seven-year-old.

I’m in Portland hanging out in the lobby whilst the boy exhausts himself in the pool with a bunch of newfound friends…

Heard I missed some snow…

Jesse: I am glad to hear a good review on “James and the Giant Peach”. My niece plays Miss Spider and I can’t wait to see it Thursday evening.
