My friend Esther, from long ago high school days, is directing a show in San Diego. It starts 5/31… you should all go. I’m going to go on 6/1, on a Sunday afternoon. It’s called “It’s a Number” and it’s being done by the Cygnet Theatre Company – at the Rolando Theatre. Here’s the link. Cygnet Theatre Company
I was sent something by Heifer International today that had a “This I Believe” essay in it. It is wonderful. I was then prompted to go to the website to read more – I think it’s a great way to be receptive to other peoples’ views. We should all do it. Here’s the site: This I Believe, Inc.
In other news – a colleague at work sent me a link – that I shortened tremendously. It’s fun!

The cyclone in Burma, and the upcoming Olympics in China, have caused a lot of attention to be paid to Asia lately. They deserve it.
Please visit the US Campaign for Burma website to find out more about what is happening there. Currently the Burmese junta has taken the aid designated for the victims and has not allowed the aid workers to distribute it. We need to ask the UN to strongly urge the junta to let aid workers in. The UN also needs to ask China to speak with the junta to encourage them to allow aid workers in. China holds considerable sway with the ruling junta and they need to act.
I saw Duran Duran last night at the new venue Nokia Center/Live/Whatever in Downtown LA last night. It was FANTASTIC!!! They played for QUITE a while, being that they’re old geezers… LOVED it, though. I am hoarse today. I danced and jumped up and down for the entire thing… I screamed when Simon took off his jacket and when he unbuttoned his black shirt (after a wardrobe change) – just like I imagine I would have done if I’d seen them when I was younger… It was awesome.
There were women sitting next to me that told their friends about me – on the way out they were talking about how much energy this girl next to them had… and then I walked out. They then said, “And there she is!!” So, it was fun.
I’m a little bit knackered today, though – give me strength and coffee to get through the day…
