Huckleberries Online

Wild Card/Saturday — 6/23/07

You have plenty to keep you busy this weekend, HBOers. If nothing else, you can trek downtown Sunday afternoon and see the finish of the annual Ironman contest. I plan to be down there to witness the action. The Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre's last production of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" takes place tonight, I believe. But I suspect that it'll be sold out as a result of word of mouth. "The Full Monty" takes over next week. That should be interesting. I'll probably interview someone from the Pappy Boyington Marine vet crew for Huckleberries Gone Wireless next week. Someone in the media needs to light a fire under the county commissioners who are dragging their heels in approving the vets' reasonable request to rename the Coeur d'Alene Airport field after the WWII hero. Meanwhile, you always have this Wild Card to start your own threads ...
