It's 16 degrees here tonight- after a weekend of high 70s. People are walking around in that weather-shocked state peculiar to Texans in the spring. I can't sleep and keep wandering through the house turning on the water to make sure it hasn't frozen. This happens once every year just as all the trees are budding. You'd think they'd learn, but trees apparently do not score high on the Stanford Binet.

Ammo said it was really hot there. I am flying out Friday to see one of his plays- I will have to wear layers that I shed as we head west.
He went from theatrical rags to riches this semester and appears in three productions this month. We missed the first one last week which had him portraying a railroad worker who got a pole through his head but develops a positive attitude. It was a comedy.
This week he plays a very lethargic character who goes insane when he eats sugar. I had to see this as the idea of Ammo manic or even moving quickly defies imagination.

You are thinking, for this they are paying 36000 a year?
This thought occurs to us on a regular basis also. LIke on the first of every month.

Next week we are all going out to see him in a serious performance-- a premiere of one of the MFA playwriter's works. He has the lead-a real coup- playing a mild young man at the end of an intense relationship who loses it. I;m unclear how. All he has told me is that there are lots of bad words and kissing. I can live with the bad words, but am concerned about this kissing. How long do they go on, I asked. Where are your hands? Where are her hands?
I might leap up and say, that's enough.
This IS my baby, you know.
I think he will perform better with a little nervous edge about what his mother might stand up and yell, don't you?

You can have it. -4 is a little too cold. The ground was still warm when it started snowing so some of it melted and then froze. It's slick enough that the dogs can't walk on the driveway.
