Robin Williams.  I would say what a shock, but isn’t there always a darker side?  Sad anyway, and tomorrow I think I will find something to watch and remember him by.  For a very brief period, and I never really figured it out, people told me that I had a “Robin Williams” quality.  The first time was at an audition for something, I can’t remember where or for what, and the director said, “you must hear this all the time, but you look just like Robin Williams”.  I told him that this was the first time I had heard that one, I had heard Nathan Lane and Kenneth Branagh, but never Robin Williams.  Then, a few weeks later, at another audition, I was told the same thing.  This director added that he didn’t think I looked like him, but it was something about my monologue.  I did do the same monologue for both, so maybe that was it.  I took it as a compliment.

Today, Ally came by and read emails to David, which he loved, so keep them coming.  I think they may have even responded to some of them.  While they were doing that, I went to the farm stand and picked up some stuff and made a nice chopped greek salad.  Quite good, if I do say so myself.  Even better that the only not fresh ingredient was the olives.

We did some more quilting, and should be done with piecing it together by the end of the week, I think.  I also spoke to an exterminator, and it is expensive, but I am going to have him come and take a look.  If he can rid the house of mice, and we can come back in the spring to a mouse free house, it will be worth it.

As you all know, David loves his lists, and I have been keeping one, but read today something that I thought was interesting, and might work better for me.  Someone suggests that lists set you up for failure, and instead of just making lists, you should schedule all the items on a list and really understand how much time something will take.  Anyway, will try that, and see how it goes.  We are planning on going to the movies tomorrow and getting haircuts.  Also have two theatre outings this week – A Chorus Line at Weston and My Fair Lady at Oldcastle in Bennington.  I am curious about the My Fair Lady, because it is a reduced version with two pianos  I have always been a fan of pared down musicals.
