Random thoughts on a dreary Spring Day.

At the school for the day, as Rose Lake is closed due to the inclement weather. I keep a Journal, as anyone should, to write down my thoughts, ideas and adventures. I tend to be lackadaisical with such things, unless its during an adventure out west or traveling in with the Major General. Those trips ,I regret, are few and far between as our schedules sometimes do not mesh as much as we like. My many commitments here at the school, park and new Museum of Fine Arts keeps me rather busy. Some days, an hernia injury has been know to sideline me ,but this season it seems to be non existent.

The opening of the Fine Arts Museum was a great success, drawing the artist community from all over the Peepsburgh Region.     

For once, Stan (MG) took a back seat and quietly funded the project when it looked like the Depression might have killed it. Ponty (JP Marvel) also became a secret investor. His newest project kept him away, finding new animals for the Rose Lake Zoo. Other than what the Stan might drag home.. Trust me its an issue. I adore him, but sometimes ,well he can be a lot to reign in. As an example...

Yes, auditions are approaching for the 1935 Aquacade The "Wet Pirates of Penzance".A production done entirely IN the water. Well, everyone but Stan, who would will appear on a decorated float ,as not to get this hair wet....  Since the theater was flooded, and still under refurbishment, this made the most sense. In his mind, anyway.

 This is the Major Generals boat. The Pinafore. He is not licensed to drive it, or has the experience, but that has not stopped him .So far there has been only ONE slight accident involving a tour boat. The Major was able to swerve out of the way, making the tour boat run aground. No one was injured fortunately, and as an apology were treated to  a lovely dinner at Von Steubens and front row seats to the production at the Swan ,"Anything Goes"  which I found to be quite appropriate. A pair of swans were traumatized in the whole unfortune incident, but was treated with care at the Rose Lake Veterinarian Hospital. They are recovering nicely, despite a loss of a few feathers and slight fear of him now. We hope to relocate them to the Zoo in the future. 

Stan said his glasses had fogged up during an impromptu performance of "Wet Butt Pirates" for the tour Boat, but I know better. 

I also tried to explain that referring to the show as "Wet Butt Pirates" might be misconstrued. Stan insisted that if his posterior continued to get wet ,what else would you call it ? Unfortunely , that comment was overhead at a Museum function and appeared in the Gazette the following day. He no idea that he had coined an inappropriate term to describe the situation.  This then, resulting in several large envelopes left for him with ink blot rear buttocks prints ..."What the devil's this, he muttered.  WHY did someone send me a rather sad art print, of the largest peach in recorded history?"..... Oh, Stan....

"AND this quote in the Gazette is wrong on many points. I am a Major General, not a Rear Admiral .

 Why ARE you snickering, Jay?

"Oh, so sorry, I mis- read that. A rear admirer"....well... yes... that's certainly not a secret  to any one that knows me, but what does it have to do with Wet Butt Pirates?"
