A Watery Grave


When we did Steel Magnolias at Walterdale Playhouse in the fall, our lovely director gave all of us a fish as a show gift. I knew that some of the fish passed away since then, but I had been spared. That is, until this afternoon, when I noticed Fighter (re-named by my eldest son, who wasn't fond of Rhett for a name) was awfully quiet and hugging the bottom of the tank. I looked closer and discovered he was not just napping. I will deal with his funeral after the boys go to bed and I am not sure if I will "replace" him. I think I might because I enjoyed having him around. He was the only boy in the house who knew how to be quiet and not make a mess.

Oh honey,
Well, at least he was predeceased by other Rhetts, so there was a familiar face when he got up there. Rhetorius Hagimus the Second survived the move and as of this morning was still alive--

Wrapping up my Theatre week! NLT, Grant MacEwan and Foote in the Door!

  I'm not kidding when I say the last week was jam-packed with theatre. I saw five shows (two of which I already wrote about) in 7 days!...
