The Bigger Sister and I will be performing in The Fiddler on the Roof at the Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center the first two weekends in May. She’s excited. I’m scared. There’ll be an audience.
This role is somewhat different from the last I almost had. Instead of playing Alfred in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead, I’ll be the Constable.
Tickets are available online.
As a serendipitous follow-up to my problem with piles, John Gruber points the exact procedures for Not Getting Things Done.

I know I’m not the only one who has come across the cashier who can’t give the correct change without the help of a machine, even for simple sums. Say my bill is $5.04 and I give you $10 — and a nickel after you’ve punched one-zero in the cash register. The register’s telling you $4.96, but now you’ve got this nickel to contend with. How long do you puzzle over the problem before calling the manager? Are you sure he can help?
