FEDORA CORE 5 released

I noticed recently that FEDORA CORE 5 has been released. We’ve been running FEDORA CORE as the Linux-based operating system of this webserver for many years. I am looking forward to upgrading to FEDORA CORE 5, but it took some time to download and burn…

DINNER 85: Sunday, March 26, 2006

Today was our tech/build day. We went from an empty theater to a mostly-full set in one long day. A giant thank you to the cast and crew for working so efficiently. We’re mostly there! Dinner after rehearsal was two of those awful microwavable burritos…

DINNER 84: Saturday, March 25, 2006

We had a morning rehearsal (from 11a-2p) at the theater this morning. The cast decided they wanted to grab “brekkie” at Pepper Pod beforehand, so we met there at 10a for eggs, toast, sausage, cottage cheese, and orange juice. One heck of a way to start the morning!

After a good rehearsal, Ted and I stayed around to hang the lights with the intention of using our time wisely in the coming ‘tech’ rehearsals. We spent a couple hours hanging the lights and getting them patched in. We’ll focus when we’ve got the actual set pieces, probably Monday evening.

One the way home, I drove through Wendy’s for a cheeseburger and a Frostie, then I collapsed on the couch and waited for Wendy to get home from the Wine Tasting she attended with a friend. I was pleasantly surprised that she’d won a silent auction for 6 bottles of Moscato d’Asti. I cannot wait to try it!

DINNER 82: Thursday, March 23, 2006

Still in early crunch-time for DINNER WITH FRIENDS, the show I am directing for Falcon Theater, my attention this evening after work wasn’t on gustatory delights but rather on collecting and organizing the music for my show. I went through the drive-through at McDonald’s for…

DINNER 81: Wednesday, March 22, 2006

Dinner was a low-key affair at the Pepper Pod restaurant in Newport Kentucky. Rehearsals for DINNER WITH FRIENDS, the show I am directing for Falcon Theater, are heating up. We open on March 31, so my attention is mainly on that show as hundreds of details are hammered out.

The fare at Pepper Pod is greasy-spoon-cuisine at its best. I had Salisbury Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Cottage Cheese.

DINNER 80: Tuesday, March 21, 2006

I blew it tonight. I really blew it. See, we were supposed to have rehearsal for DINNER WITH FRIENDS, the show I’m directing for Falcon Theater, but we got snow this morning (on the first full day of Spring, no less) and the weatherman was…
