  week late but better than never, I want to let the world know that I
  saw the most amazing high school drama production of my life in
  Appleton last Saturday. I imagined that they would do a good job, but I
  had no idea that the $10 I was paying was getting me a $40 Broadway
  show.

  The roles were played so well, and the "Cast A" that we saw were
  definitely A+ material. I know that I'm going to have trouble going to
  high school plays from now on.... Maybe I'll just have to go to
  Appleton each year now. I think this was a big deal to them too,
  though, being the first performance of Aida of it's kind (off-Broadway,
  etc...).

  If you learn nothing else from the entry, it's pronounced A-eeda. It
  was an opera to Giuseppi Verdi's music in 1871. The story is set in
  Egypt and otherwise parallels my tragic-romantic-comedy life. Although
  I still think Nicolas Cage in More Than 60 Minutes Late would be a good
  movie of my life.

  Casey knew the lead male role Andy who played
  Radames, and we went out afterwards in the surprisingly urban Appleton
  downtown to a coffee shop called...and I forget this everytime...Copper
  Rock.

  
  

  Okay, nighty-night for Nicky who has stayed awake for 44 hours now with
  only 2 short naps (one on a bed, one on a couch). Plowing is great....but in March? Bring on the
  spring time! I wanna see the bulbs in my pick-up truck bed, hehe...

  Edit: I just went upstairs, and it's snowing again...almost an inch on
  the ground. Hmm....I guess it'll just be another nap! Tomorrow: Ryan's
  birthday party at Prime Quarter and Pete's gig at Sprizzo Gallery Caffe.
