Cooper: Diane, last night I dreamed I was eating a large, tasteless gumdrop,
and awoke to discover I was chewing on one of my foam disposable earplugs.
Perhaps I should consider moderating my nighttime coffee consumption.

"Brigadoon" is only 4 weeks away. It seems like we've only just begun rehearsals. This article mentions the show near the end. I don't think my quotes could have been any lamer if I set out to win the lamiest lamer of lame award. What's that? I won? Well, that was my intention all along.

Yesterday, one of the kids in "Peter Pan" walked by and asked me if I knew the formula for the area of a scalene triangle. Before I could scratch my chin and say, "Hmm. Isn't the formula for the area of a triangle the same for all triangles, 1/2 * base * height? What's with the scalene qualifier?" -- she was gone and chatting away on her phone. Maybe she didn't have the base and height, we may never know. But I still wonder why we'd care that it was scalene. But what really made me wonder, why wonder, is that I thought, wow, I'm not exactly sure. And I've got a minor in math. Although none of those 7 or 8 college math classes involved geometry. In fact, the last time I did geometry was in the 9th grade, nearly 30 years ago. And that makes me feel a lot older than some kid asking me something simple sounding like what's the area of a scalene triangle.
Indeed. What's the area of my own triangle. My own scalene triangle. Heavy.

On this week's "The Simpsons", Marge shows Lisa her Shattered Dreams Box. She keeps it in her Disappointment Closet. Naturally, that reminded me of my own Big Box of Game Show Shame. Which I keep in a corner of my Dining Room. I never thought of giving the dining room a name.
Well, it amused me.
BTW, that Simpsons link above? I can't believe Google bought it! Those lucky SOBs. That site's been around forever and has long been the source for all things Simpsons. It has the stuff that you used to only be able to get in the newsgroups. Back before there were web pages, you whippersnappers. (Hmm. It wouldn't be an April Fool's prank, would it?)
