The Allen Americans are getting ready for the next season and I had to go and watch the auditions for the Ice Angles last night. Here are the final ones. Yeah Hockey!!!!




Other than getting ready for hockey - saw a first reading of "Duets" a play on TU. Even though it was only a read thru the actor and actress maed it really funny. Will have to go see it after they get it ready for the public. Still riding the bike even though it is in the 100's still. Off to the SU ride of 30+ miles this am.

Still very hot and setting new heat records on a daily basis. Does not stop the club grom riding however - just more frequent rest stops and more water consumption. did see "The Little Show of Horrors" at the Water Tower theater Thursday. The plant was very funny and had 2 people operating the plant. One for the voice and one for "eating" the people. Other than that not much new

It is so sad. We had 40 days of >100 and then the rain came. The record of 42 days >100 was not broken. After 40 days it could have waited at least 3 more days before the rain. In the next 20 or so years we will get another chance. Rained yesterday (SA) so no bike ride in the am but a short one in the pm. Today (SU) rode for 32 miles with the club. Hockey season is about to start!!!

It is hot in TX. Going for a record of >100 degree days. Will beat the 1980 record on SA and that is what it is looking like. Gets to cool off to the mid 80's in the evening. Still riding the bike - Yes even in the heat. Attended a couple of plays in the last 2 weeks.

1. SEE WHAT I WANNA SEE at Theater 2
A Dallas premiere of a new musical by Michael John LaChiusa
A powerful musical of lust, greed, murder, faith and redemption retelling classic Japanese stories stunningly re-set in mid-20th-Century Manhattan. “Entertains and astonishes at the same time…” “Will knock you flat…” “Not-to-be-missed…” “A tour-de-force for the performers…”

OK but?? This is the series of plays I see the first "read thru" with the actors/actresses and then it is fun to see the final production.

2. Satyricon by Gaius Petronius,
World Premiere adaptation of the scandalous Roman Novel.
Adapted to the stage by Mark-Brian Sonna

Set in the time of Nero, this comedic play explores the misadventures of an over the hill and broke Roman soldier and his young slave as they live off the rich and famous.
Follow their ever increasing misadventures as they mooch off wealthy noblemen, sleep with their wives, and do whatever it takes to get by. Frequently banned, Satyricon has been considered as one of the greatest books ever written as well as the most “scandalous" and "filthiest" in Western Literature.

These are weird, interesting, not for everyone performaces - but all entertaining and this was the least entertaining of all

Off today - the reason for the post and trying to stay cool just as the DB is also
