Today I spent thirteen hours on the computer trying to undo the damage that some hacker did to the Willamette Radio Workshop site. We’ve been attacked with minor vandalism over the last couple of months. Basically, they replace our index.html file with another one. So far, I’ve just replaced it and adjusted the chmod permissions. […]
On Saturday Rob and I went to the farmer’s market. Amoung the other delightful organic produce, we picked up two globe artichokes. I’m enjoying one of them for a snack right now. I’ve got a mandarin orange olive oil that I’m dipping the leaves in, leftover from Iron Chef: Citrus Battle. Life is good.

Sorry. I’ve mislaid the list of wines, but here’s a photo of the event at least. There’s another table in the dining room, too.
Rob and I went across the street to Matt and Marietta’s for a garden party. Marietta started a community garden on the vacant lot that she and Matt own. (We have two rows there.)And they invited all the friends and neighbors to come over for potluck and music.
This is what I’ve been working on lately. Actually, this is only the first rendering, there’s a dozen more of these, and then my ground plans and technical renderings and…

As a change, I thought I’d share a letter from my dad about my folks recent trip to London to visit my brother, Steve. London May-June 2005 highlights. Dear Mary,       We arrived on Saturday morning and Steve was visiting with Josh out at the airport so we just hung out at Steve’s place and

I’ve been working on Arabian Nights design around helping out with Shimmer and am pretty pleased with what I’m doing, if I do say so myself. We’ll see what Chris and Emily say when they see the drawings.
Because I really don’t have enough things going on in my life right now, I started working on a new online magazine called, Shimmer. I was supposed to just be an occasional advisor, but you know how things go. Anyway, it’s open for submissions now, and the first issue is due out in October.

I spent the day on the computer troubleshooting two different websites, editing a manuscript and playing with a logo. My eyes are crossing now.
Rob and I went to see the 1962 film last night at the Laurelhurst. It was one of the rare times when we went into a film where I knew more about it than he did. He’d never read the book or seen a stage version, so was seeing the movie virtually blind. Afterwards he

I got home at 9:00 this morning. The two shows yesterday went poorly, although the audiences loved them, but they were what I expected from the Friday night show. Dropped lines, skipped scenes, botched numbers…it was still fun, but only because the most of the kids were so earnest about what they were doing. That

Much to my surprise, since we had not done a full run-though, the show went really well. I’m very impressed with the way these kids stepped up to the plate. The girl playing Audrey, who is all of 13 years old, made me cry with her rendition of “Somewhere that’s Green.” She’s got an amazing
The interesting thing about Little Shop, for me, is that it’s the only time when I use the sentence, “My favorite flavor of Gatorade is Lemon-lime.” I go through a bottle a show, usually, but the puppets in this production are so hot that I’m going through a bottle an act. The other issue, is
We only did Act I today. I think I’ve mentioned that this is a summer music camp, and these kids can sing. Wow, do they have good voices. Granted, there are some in the chorus who should really just mouth the words, but all the leads are outstanding. Pod #3, although it shows the signs
