Monday Morning Musings
Short and sweet today. At least I hope you find it sweet. I always get a bit frantic the week before we open a show, and our original production of “Bonnie and Clyde in Winnsboro” opens this Friday. Even though I plan ahead and work for 6 to 8 weeks on rehearsals, there are always things that crop up at the last minute. I had a huge snafu when my tech guy had to back out last week. It is not easy to get someone to step in to that job, but thank goodness I found somebody.
The building that houses the Winnsboro Center for the Arts was once a saloon, one of many along Market Street that became known as The Bowery. Our troupe of players like the idea of being The Bowery Players.
Before I move on, I do have to brag on my son Mike Miller who is the archivist for the City of Austin and the Manager of the Austin History Center He was interviewed by Michael Barnes for a story in the Austin Statesman.

Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and she said, “Johnny, what is the matter?”

Thanks Tigermouse.
Thanks for the smile. Loved the last one, sometimes I might need a shove though. Sounds like your son is a chip of the ol’ block.
