Paul & Jane 'The way it is': February 2012

Time is moving to fast. Then again I got a picture from home and I feel much better. Fog, rain, ice, I remember it all to well.

It has been quiet around here of late, perhaps it's because we have stayed close to home. Jane was picked for an acting part at an audition in Pharr, Tx. (A small Town 10 mins away). They had trouble getting actors and Jane was asked to change parts because she had a better singing voice than the other lady. Then Jane got sick as well as some of the other actors. Jane was close to her annual bout of Bronchial Pneumonia, Dr., chest xray and prescriptions to treat Bronchitis. She is still fighting it, making her weak, tired and with all the coughing, the singing is a little shaky too! They had 4 weeks to prepare and I'll tell you there was major scrambling at the end. One lady broke her leg and another fellow just never showed up. There's show business for you, BUT as the say, the show goes on and damn it did, and damn it, it was good. I saw the full dess rehearsal on Thursday and opening night was Friday. Someone took a video so I will share it with you next time.

Jane and I are on the 1st responders team and our team got its first call this week. I went and we just kept the area clear so the ambulance medics could do their thing. The lady woke up and couldn't walk, she's back home and walking again and that's good.

I've been helping out around the park by taking tickets and working the concession booth at some of the functions. I get to see the entertainment free so it's a win-win situation for all.

I overloaded my hard drive and lost a lot of stuff. I had a lot on memory chips, current pictures still in the camera and google had my email addresses. Could have been a lot worse, remember to backup, I learned a costly lesson.

Jane's long time friend Anne Marie (Her Maid of Honour) is coming for a 10 day visit, Feb. 23rd to March 4th. We will plan some activities for her (and us) to enjoy. She will be here in time to see Jane's final performance at the theatre.

This afternoon at 2:30 PM a cool front came down from 'The North' and we will be in the mid 60's for this coming week, which is probably seasonal for this time of year here in Texas. In 2004 they were able to make snowmen one day, of course by noon it was all gone. They were like little kids when the snow came. LOL! (sick)
