Andy, I'm very excited about seeing my very first production of Assassins on Sunday! Having witnessed your skills as a playwright/director (I loved A Year w/o Spring!), it's now my turn to see your musical direction talents! I can't wait!
SS:)
It was so great to see you that I'm coming back.
I'll be in town again from Sunday night to Wednesday night at least. Are you around on Tuesday? I'll call you on Monday.
i wish we could re-live our French trip, just as it was...Mrs. Erickson, scaring everyone... Sarah and her hightop Dunlops, Merideth pretending not to be totally obsessed with you... cheese.
i'll go if you'll be my date... i'm a REALLY GOOD date.. wink wink...
i'm stalking you on line.. right NOW... and touching myself as you sing to me.. i used to do that during Will Rodger's too.. when I was in my cowgirl outfit...
