A Fox on the Fairway
Last week Janet Anderson, Lorna and myself went to the Richmond Hill Playhouse to see the comedy, “A Fox on the Fairway.” It was excellent!
I think with comedy, actors have to deliver their lines “with perfect timing” and they did just that. There were 6 actors . Jackie Patterson was one of them. She is really a natural and we always like to support her. The play’s last performance was July 20th.
The next play, Marjorie PRIME, will be August 14-17 & 21 – 24. One of the actors will be Lorrie Lord. She is another one of those natural actors. The play is not a comedy, and I heard through the grape vine it is very thought provoking. We shall see.
What Goes Around, Comes Around
We are fans of PBS, but to a point! I used to watch the PBS NewsHour with Judy Woodruff because it was not bias. However, I noticed during the past year or so PBS has become more and more democratic. I don’t watch their NewsHour anymore because of their liberal points of view. I see that President Trump wants to cut funding to PBS. I have mixed emotions on that subject. We contribute to PBS, certainly not for its news reporting, but because it has so much other “excellent viewing”. While we will continue to watch and support PBS, I have to smile at Trump’s “pay-back” time. In short, “What goes around, comes around!"

Luke Dauw wins the Game
Luke’s high school age baseball team are called the St. Louis Tigers. As I type this our grandson, Luke, just made it to 1st base with his teammate making it from 3rd base to home and they won the game. Way to go, Luke!
Good reason to go to The Cellar
Fifty-three years on July 24th! Happy Anniversary, Lorna.
Humor
Lorna says I have two major faults. I don’t listen and something else. Last night I accidentally handed Lorna a gluestick instead of the chapstick. She still hasn’t talked to me.
