THURSDAY JULY 12

How appropriate that the night we work on the rainy wedding scene, Mother Nature cooperates and provides us with the real thing. There's a pond in front of my house which has left its banks and threatens to overtake the one road out of my neighborhood. It usually takes a major hurricane to make that happen, so I think I'll be OK.

Just to be safe, unless you are STAGE MANAGER, EMILY, DOC GIBBS, MRS. GIBBS, MR. WEBB, or MRS. WEBB, stay home tonight. And stay dry. (Matt has a conflict related to his new job.) If you find that you are trapped by rising waters, call 9-1-1 first and then shoot me a text.

I'll try and keep it quick tonight. We've worked portions of this Act already, so it shouldn't take long to iron out remaining details. Maybe by next week it will stop raining.

Fun fact about OT #6

Here's a few pictures of everyone's favorite- Mount Monadnock. At 3,165 ft, it's the tallest peak for 20 miles. In 1800, local settlers set fire to it in order to clear the lower slopes for pasture. The mountain was burned again between 1810 and 1820 to rid the area of wolves. This completely destroyed the top soil and the upper stretches are, to this day, denuded of trees. Its name is derived from a Native American word meaning, get this, "mountain."

Mount Monadnock is second only to Mount Fuji in numbers of annual hikers: 125,000 people.
That's almost 350 people a day!

This is Troy, NH at the foot of Mount Monadnock.


Just had to include this which highlights the gentle slope of this ancient, eroded mountain.
