Himes turns pro, Anderson gets buff

Last night's Tupper Supper took place at the Wilber-Himes residence, in the company of poodles and one out of sight and slightly out of its mind angry cat.

Alix prepared delicious couscous and vegetables, Jan brought her renowned salad of many colors, Michelle brought fruit, and Craig and Kathleen brought wine.

Andy announced at the start of supper that he's taking his monologue to two new venues: One, the Mt Zion Baptist Church, where he was invited to perform by the daughter of the pastor, who noted that she had seen his monologue on the same day that Obama gave his race speech, and saw an opportunity to further the dialogue in her own parish.

The second venue is CHAC, where Andy will be in May for 2 nights a week for 4 weeks. For that set of performances he will be working with a director, whose initial feedback is that Andrew must conjure up the sermonizing spirit of his grandfather and then meet that spirit with an equally vigorous sermon of his own. The CHAC production will also incorporate multimedia in the form of clips from "The Grim Reaper."

The tuppers joined in a rousing toast.

We had a chance to see how strong and healthy Sally is looking, as a result of her weights workout routine at Sound Mind and Body. Giving that woman a hug is a whole new experience now! It is AWESOME! You go, girl!!

Kathleen reported on an afternoon trip to the Magnolia heronry, where she spent time with huge gorgeous birds and caught many of them in candid poses.

Good wishes this weekend, please, to Craig for his GAGE Academy fundraiser, to Alix for success with the final RHH Literary Series for the year, to me while I escort my mom through surgery tomorrow, and to all of us tuppers, with our hopes and challenges.
