Beeki's gone for a few days to visit her folks. So The Cachinnator is a temporary bachelor. I thought about titling this post "The Bachinnator," but it had too many Bacchic connotations. And since Beeki has studied Greek theatre, I was afraid she'd get the wrong idea about what I've been up to while she was away.
So what have I been up to? Theatre. I know... I know... for most of you the following conversation might seem weird:
Cach: So Beeki's going away this weekend.
You: Oh yeah? So what are you going to do?
Cach: I was thinking I'd stay up late, head out of town, and do some acting.
But for me and/or Beeki, it's par for the course. I'm appearing in two plays, one of which Beeki co-directed. So if any of you are near Salado next weekend, we're doing a pair of Horton Foote plays. Here's the flyer:
I'm primarily in the comedy that opens the show, but I also have a small part in the drama. I should warn you: if you come you'll need to brace yourselves. Women, this mostly applies to you. You see, I am devastatingly handsome in the play. I worry for your fidelity to your husbands and boyfriends. I wear a bow tie and look like Indiana Jones when he's teaching. Seriously. Just to help prepare you, here are a few pictures from the show:
No, actually this one's of me, not Harrison Ford.
Still me. This time with teddy bears.You've been warned. If you think you can handle it, I'd love to see you there next weekend!
10 Cachinnations
Wait in the bottom pic are you the teddy bear with he bow tie?

No one... ties bows like Gaston.

Ahh, Horton Foote. When Mrs. E and I first married we had a bathmat in the tub shaped like a foot, and we named him "Horton". The memories . . .
No, seriously, I did help Mrs. E while she did a senior project directing a scene from Courtship (I think - it was one of that trilogy). I know more about Horton Foote because of Mrs. E's theatrical background than I imagine I would have ever known otherwise.

You look more like Mr. Bigley to me.
GROUNDHOG!
That's cool, though, about your work at the ol' Tablerock. Few know this, but Bibb played the lead in Salado Legends many a summer ago. And I still can't get that damned 'Crow Song' out of my head...

As did The Cachinnator, sir Bibb. I was the first to do it with a Scottish accent. It amused me.
And, yes, the song is still stuck in my head as well.

Looks like tons of fun!

Was that a fat joke?

Oh, I wish I could see your show! Break a leg!

Looking very dapper. The best part of bachelor life is peeing in the sink first thing in the morning.
Memories...

Ooh, you know what I miss about bachelor living? Naked eating! When I was young and not yet Jabba-the-Huttesque, I would eat my cereal each morning completely in the altogether. O, how liberating it is to scarf down Fruit Loops without even the minimum covering afforded by one's Fruit of the Looms!
Honestly, if you've never tried it, you really should eat your breakfast in the buff. It doesn't work as well for other meals, though. No one wants to see a pudgy 30-year-old man wolfing down some hot wings.
Ewwww...
