Cold and dry -- what else is there to say? Oh yeah, the air pollution from cars, woode smoke etc. builds up FAST. I saw the Lunar Eclipse starting last night, and finishing. I was in the theater during totality (see below).

In The Community: Sometimes it's great NOT to be working a public event, because one gets to just enjoy it on its own terms. I went to a fundraiser for the local Domestic Violence Hotline -- Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues. I knew about it because our high school student-guests were informed about this production last Tuesday at the college where I work. There were 27 women in the piece, and it was VERY well directed. Everybody brought something special to their part. It ended with some outrageous physical comedy by sparklingly talented Jesse Culp, but there was much more going on that evening than big laughs, and censorship was NOT on the agenda.
From the WIKI Site -- In February 2007, a comedy club owner of the Atlantic Theatres in Atlantic Beach, Florida changed the title to the "Hoohaa Monologues" after a complaint from a passing driver who became upset because her niece had seen "vagina" on the theater marquee. The word "vagina" was only restored by the theater owner once the producer of the event made it clear that rights to the play were granted only if the production was not subject to censorship.
