Good God, and I mean that sincerely, what have we done to deserve this? Ok, what haven't we done? Just when I get used to the idea of dealing with all the usual bull that is the normal part of living here in Shangri-la, it's volcano, blizzard, and flood week! And me without a thing to wear! OK God, so just a little warning would have been nice, I could have updated my wardrobe with a Hazmat suit, one of those cool Parkas they wear way up North, and some new hip waders. (the old ones have a hole, which I just found out the hard way). Unless, of course, your warning was the entire book of Revelations, in which case we are so screwed anyways. Pretty funny joke! ha ha hum.....
Have you ever tried to explain to anyone else in America (those other states) that the check is in the mail, but the volcano is causing delays...no??.... you should really try that....the incredulous silence is pretty funny. I like sending photos of Redoubt, Augustine, or any other ash spewing mountains to friends and family down there, with the tag line ......sorry about your birthday this year, but.......
On a more fun note, Fiddler on the Roof opens tonight! It should be a hoot. Lots of great local talent, and a great tech crew. There will be some serious fun going on in the auditorium tonight!
Well, I'm going to have to save my more venomous commentary for later, since I have to go slip into something uncomfortable for my trip outdoors......It looks nasty out there, and the wind has picked up. But never fear, I'm sure I have something bitter and biting to post later, perhaps an after-the-show critique?

Very funny! We had a concert here in Soldotna--pretty much the same scene-but you griped about it in such a refreshing way-well done-bravo! Encore!
Always good to read Fireweed.
I was happy to get up this mornin' and see white snow and not the ash frosted stuff I kinda expected.
I hope the show went well, and I look forward to your spin on it!
Peace
Griff
