Hey, it's not my neighbor or my ladder or my leaves. ;)
Yes. I understand this, but was riffing on your comment.

I suppose it could possibly be your house he's looking into,
unless you have shades and curtains and such? I notice you didn't
rule that out with your comment above...
 
Went to a fundraiser concert thing last night for one of the local theater company's (Revival). One of the two performers was a guy they hired a couple of years ago to play Coltrane in Ragtime. He has spent the last two years in the ensemble and understudy for Mufasa in Lion King on Broadway. I am sure at least @cowgirl836 will want to check this out.


The other performer was a local and family friend who can hold her own against a talent like Ezekiel. The pianist that accompanied them was incredible as well but just said that he was supposed to be in a show there in March of 2020 but obviously other events happened and unfortunately he has not been able to get time off as a music director to be in other shows. At the end they dropped the small nugget that he isn't just some minor music director somewhere. He has been in the pit of WICKED on Broadway for the last 16 years.

It's funny how those sorts of people are just kind of around.

I've seen this person with several of the bands mentioned and she was living just south of Madison while that was going on.

Every time we go to a show I walk away amazed, blessed and incredibly jealous of the talent we have the in the community. There was one more local performer that came down sick yesterday so she could not perform. Not a bad bio on her either.

 
Why doesn't the dude have curtains? Or were you up on a ladder peeking? :mccaffery:
If I'm on the side of my house doing something, his wife will sometime open the window and start talking to me. Scares the crap out of me. Just like he does if I'm in the garage doing something where he just creeps up on me and starts talking.

You peeking in his bedroom?

Don't need to peak in. His window is 5' from my yardwaste bin and at I level it was really hard to miss with the way the sun was shining in.

I almost ran him over this morning as I was coming home from the gym at 6:15 which was still fairly dark yet. I turn the corner to go down the street and he just pops out from behind a parked SUV on the street with their dog on a leash. He just walked a little faster as I had to stop for him. He is always walking their dog right on road!!
 
I only know one of my grand parents middle names. Well, seeing that my one didn’t have one, that may make two.

Ironically, my grandma who didn’t have a middle name had a half sister with the same name. So I’m not sure how my great grandpa differentiated them. Probably just called my grandma what we all called her, mean beatch.

Don't know much about grandparental units, for sure don't know their middle names. Do remember my grandmother and her sister's first names because all were truly old school, Esther, Otillia and Lydia.

Otillia! That rivals "Gertrude" on my list as a name you "haven't heard in a long time".

But Otillia is better--sounds like a Hobbit-- "Otillia Brandybuck" could easily be Merry's grandhobbit (It was actually "Menegilda").

Oh and Ezekiel came down into the audience several times, one of which was singing Sinatra's New York Yew York. He stuck the mic out for the audience for the first "New York New York" and I instinctively blurted out "North Pole North Pole" as a Santa Clause 3 Jack Frost reference. MrsWx was quite embarrassed at that.

My grandparents' middle names were Florence, Jay, Snyder and Sherwood. One grandpa had his mother's maiden name as his middle name and one grandma changed her middle name from Mae to her maiden name when she got married. Those two weren't on the same side of the family.

I just realized that it has been over 20 years since we lost the last one. The first one went over 55 years ago.

I got to looking after I read this. I've got some crazy good longevity genes...
