Life After Nexcom

We walked the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival Yesterday. I remember when it first started some 30 odd years ago. It was a side bar to the Sportsman Clubs' salmon Bar B Q. The Indians would come and build their alder fires in the city park, and the sportsmen would catch the fish for the indians to cook. They stuck alder sticks through the fillets, and stuck them in the ground around the big fire. When they had smoked and cured properly then we all ate until we popped!! THEN we walked through the 20 or so booths that were set up. Rules were you had to sell only HANDMADE by YOU items. Well the salmon Bar BQ is long gone, the Sportsmen are no longer involved, the artsy craftsy people have take over the town. Literally!! they close down the roads and spread the 250 or so booths up and down the streets. Anything is sold there now. Mostly handcrafted, but not by the sellers. There was a lot of yard art whimsy, but it was all very expensive. The only thing I bought was a coffee cup made of pottery, and a small bar of lemon grass soap. Was rather disappointed. Maybe it was because I had seen it all many times before. Nothing new.

Half of the cast was out sick today so we only ran through act 1 once. Those that were there were perfect!. This was the first time off book with prompt, and they had it nailed!!! I was so proud of them all. We will see who all shows up tomorrow. Let's get the illness out of the way now, we dont want to have to replace the cast like we did with RUMORS!

The Jets are flying again tonite. Must be getting ready for another Squadron to go overseas. Liberia is heating up, but I heard that we were starting to beef up the Sea of Japan, to see what North Korea is up to. Dear Lord, Why must it always be US? We couldn't get it right in Iraq, even though we did get rid of Hussein, We still have yooung men dying over there. Why dont we hear about the Iraqui casualties? Now that we are there I think we need to kick ass and get it right. I was dead set against us going, But now that we are there, we really need to do it right this time...
