6:50 pm	well....at least lea and i have power........!! hey there folks.... at about 730 last night lea and i got our power back on. sad to say, but the power company cut the line at the pole to momma and pops house, so they are still without power and tied to the generator. looks like they wont be getting power at least until next wednesday. but hey...at least we have power so momma and pop can come over (which they arent...geez....stubborn!) and take a shower. the area is still a disaster....weve had to cancel shows for the next two weeks...so we are scrambling at the theatre to find work to do so we can all get a paycheck. weve got sweeney todd tonight and tomorrow night...then thats it (except the church on sundays) for a couple of weeks. there are tons of folks without power...and the line crew that came out last night made no bones about telling me that they werent supposed to be out there at all, but were because of "a little girl in a wheelchair". nice. i know they are tired....but i grew up with pop gone in the winter and the summer when he worked at the power company. its totally your job dude. ok...thats as snarky as i can get....because really....everyone is working their butts off up here...weve got crews even coming from louisiana to help...so i am totally appreciative. thanks everybody for all the check-ins and offers of help....we totally appreciate it. weve got so much to do though....i really dont know where to start. its so totally overwhelming. ok...house is open....got to jett.

10:34 am	we are ok............ hey folks....i know a lot of yall have been trying to get in touch with us during this crazy ice storm action......but theres been no phones....and theres still no power. (though strangely enough, here i sit in the booth at work having not taken a shower in DAYS because the show goes on) the storm was so fierce that lea and i scarcely slept the first two nights...limbs laden with ice came crashing down; first sounding like rifle shots, then as the night wore on and a dark like i have never seen surrounded us,it sounded like cannons going off. every thing that hit lea and i would say..."that didnt sound good" and worried that the maple or the oak tree had gone crashing through momma and pops house. it was the most helpless ive ever felt. the day after, lea and i walked tentatively around the farm....limbs still crashing down...to find that remarkably enough, the oak tree had missed pops old cars (!!! i know right???) had only hit the back of the shop, and the maple limbs that fell on momma and pops house did not punch a hole through the roof, though their power line to the house was down. i cried as i walked around the little orchard....we lost the apple tree and a walnut (they were completely uprooted) and the pear trees are hanging on by a thread. trees id planted with pop in my childhood that momma has made so many preserves from are gone. it looks like the set of a war movie here....the tops of what trees are standing look like they have taken mortar fire. we are hoping now that all the freezers on the farm hold (as it is still cold) but if not, we are losing a lot of the harvest.....but again...thats ok....we canned SO much and the well house didnt get limb one on it....so we have food. we have heat at our house from a kerosene heater..and even though i fought frozen pipes yesterday while lea was at work....it was all sorted by the time she got home. (by the way.....spaghetti-os heated on top of a kerosene heater is a fine snack!) we have been able to make fabulous meals at mommas and pops due to the woodstove, our old camping stove, a grill...and of course the bar-b-q is still good....even in winter!!!! last night we were making a last ditch effort to cook a lot of stuff before it ruined....so we had a fine feast of barbeque ....potatoes, squash, ribs, steak and salmon. as i was grilling, a wayward skunk came right up to me....i sacrificed some salmon to it and away it went happily chewing. everybodys gotta eat right?? weve played more uno at momma and pops than i think i did in all my childhood...and really....we have it better than most of the city folks that dont can their own food, or have an independant heat source for warmth and such. pop went out and managed to get a generator last night that wasnt 2 thousand dollars or more and we at least got the freezer on the back porch saved....mostly. the lines for gas and kerosene are insane here....and not a lot is open....but we are hoping to get all the city up and going by tuesday....hopefully we will have power on the farm by wednesday...when we are expecting high winds. (sigh) its supposed to snow again today, but ive not much faith in that forecast.... i just dont think we will get it any more....but at least the ice has melted from the trees and they arent splitting anymore. really....we are a plucky little town...and yes...there have been people acting the fool...stealing generators, looting and having fights in long gas lines....but we are by and large ok. the national guard is here, lots of electric companys have come up to help out...and there have only been 7 deaths....it could have been SO much worse. by ten oclock the first morning obama had called in fema and we were on our way to ok. (mags can now make a shirt that says OBAMA CARES ABOUT KY....heh) while we are all sceptical about fema, we are pretty good at taking care of our own....but if fema has an extra chainsaw they can bring it on! i told lea and momma yesterday that we need the saw crew...id love to see sandy and kubby tear it up! today after the church clears out of the theatre, we are going to get ready for sweeney todd on tuesday, then we are all gathering to watch the superbowl....because none of us has power at home. also, we can do a load of laundry here and take a (much needed) shower. the cell phones are working now, and mine is charging here in the booth.....so ill call everybody back that called soon as i can. when theres not so much to do....ill try to absorb this all. but...its going to be all right. theres that yall more later justajenn for pictures and just plain curiousity.....the link to our local newsstation: http://www.wpsdlocal6.com/default.aspx Current Mood: tired (4 Comments |Comment on this)

"wow...this pillow feels so cool and softtt............" id taken several trips to the grid (92 feet) and the operating rail (45 feet) last night, so my legs were really tired today when i woke up. and i have to say i woke up like t-rex growling and complaining that my arms were too short. (picture it...i swear thats what i look like when i wake up grouchy!) poor lea.....she tried everything she could to make the "morning" easier. after i came to life i walked over to momma and pops to see how the progression was going on in their bathroom. this week they are laying wood floor in their house, so weve been doing some prep work. i have to admit its been mostly them considering my schedule.....so monday instead of moving stuff id promised to do for lea, she and i are going to help momma and pop finish their bathroom. i swear, i have no idea how it is that i have lucked out having her and my family. its staggering. but now im back at work. we have the distillers dinner tonight. uuummmm...bourbon and a fancysmanchy dinner onstage. so ive been talking bourbon all afternoon with a distiller from buffalo trace. i have to say yall...they make some good bourbon!(its not that we are "drinking" at work....its more like "tasting") so we will have yet another variety at the bourbon tasting at the tent this next year at mich! i actually told the distiller about the "tasting"at mich and he was AMAZED that we just passed the bottles. he said "ill bet yall was messed up in minutes!" why yes sir....yes..... we were! im the only tech type person here. joe called in for the event, so its just me (wo)manning the ship tonight until he comes in after the event to help me set up for the church tomorrow morning. i dont mind that at all. tomorrow is a cluster of three shows on one stage......so im going to enjoy the easy day while i can! there isnt much more going on from here right now......just me and my lightboard preparing to watch other folks onstage drink it up...missing all yall in a circle on coolers and campchairs around the tent doing the same. more later justajenn Current Mood: watching and waiting...

12:37 pm	hey there yall well...looks like the gals twitter thing worked like a charm....so i gave up on updating because they were doing such a fine job...and uh...really its their story to tell. but, in case you dont twitter,..heres what i know twoofspades and puma are in nashvegas, watching the news like the rest of us. orangegrrl and mamalicious along with tripolarexpress and the younger are somewhere around the bham area,...they have been plagued with car problems this whole trip. not sure if tripolar is going to try and get to paducah or not at this point. yoniyum and her carload are about an hour and a half or so from paducah right now. (1240pm) so theres that yall. lea and i decided to watch fox news after watching every other channel BUT fox and the minute we switched over they were announcing that the vp candidate for the republican tickets daughter, UNWED at 17 is pregnant and getting married. CODE ORANGE...UNWED MOTHER...ahhhhhhhh so looks like the "storm of the century" is getting to be small potatoes already. im glad it wasnt worse. im glad everyone is ok....besides being terribly tired and stressed to the hilt. its been a wierd two weeks being back here in the world from mich. we werent on the road an hour before i called momma to tell her when wed all be home and found out that dommi had died while i was on the land. momma found her curled up on her pillow one morning...she had died in her sleep. ive been really upset about this, and not feeling myself....even though im back at work and seeming to go about daily things. so theres that. i think everybody is out of sorts in their own way. im just glad that everything...right now....is all right. theres that yall. ill try to be better at updating myself this year.

6:54 pm	hey there yall...... sorry its been a while....a long while.... theres been tons-o-work at the old theatre, and when i did get some time off this last week, momma and i have been busy as hens planting all manner of things. we have planted grapes, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries (see the berry thing? oh it doesnt stop there, shes ordered 75 strawberry plants!) and have settled most of the herb garden (including artichokes, thought wed give em a whirl) and the lettuce/radish/mesculin/leafystuff beds....and weve started the tomato, pepper and eggplant seeds we had...while waiting on the LONG list of seeds weve ordered from the various catalogues. and in the middle of this i was busy putting up deer fence because we are rife with them this year. the other day after we were done in the herb garden we counted 18 in front of the house just standing there staring at us. it was a busy week off...momma joked that id be glad to go back to work today. i guess im glad to be back at work....im here at frc all by my lonesome while the symphony rehearses....so ive been here since 8 am and i have been cruising the net at my desk since about 1230. (and theres the rub) see...got my own desk now, with my own computer and my very own little email addy...so im officially the lighting director...holla. but thing is....theres all this crazy sonic wall software that wont let me do hardly anything. like.....ummm....comment to lj posts. dang it...i finally get to cruise around and see stuff and the dang thing wont let me remark to yalls posts!!! oddly enough, it did let me respond to nancy kelley....but i think the computer gods just might be afraid enough of her to NOT not let me respond! but if i log out and its an open entry, seems like i can respond anonymously. wierd. frustrating. par for the course! (avnerd...got any tips on this?) and what a time to not be able to respond too.....there seems to be all these happenings i have opinions on!! since this is the open forum type, ill not go into specifics....but there is a certain message board entering my ire. ima trying to hold my tongue but its hard. nuff said. im looking forward to spring springing so i can have time to write here again and catch up with yall.....i feel like we havent talked in ages!!!! everything else is fine....the dommicat is recovering from a particularly nasty wild cat attack this past monday (that is to say...it was a feral cat that came onto my porch) and she has gotten over most of the bruising and soreness and cuts and has just about regained her crotchety composure. nothing a little antibiotic cant fix right? but now, unfortunately she is totally scared of the porch. cant say as i blame her. i had to hit the cat over the head with a board to get it to let go of her throat...but like momma said...im sure that old cat got some whallops from the dom. the very next day it attacked grey cat...so, suffice to say pop got a little mad over all this and went country on the crazy attack cat....dont think that cat will be back because it got a whallop of shot. thankfully, our kitties have had their meds, so other than cuts,blood, and lost fur they are fine. i was totally freaked out about it though and gave a tearful call to lea beth....who thought by the way i was wailing about it a lion had eclipsed my porch! pops kitten-cat cougar is the little show stealer of the farm...yall know pop does not like cats right? (ha...thats the family joke...the guy who takes home "cat bags" from restaurants!) cougar has decided that he is a lap cat....wait till yall see pop and this cat together...its a riot. the cat just walks all over pop and follows him like a little dog. (youll love him deucedeuce!) and momma wanted me to be sure and tell yall that pop named the cat. we had named him something else, but pop didnt think that "rascal" was good enough evidently! and of course, momma is in full tilt boogie planing the planting....like i said before...all i did this last week was dig holes for her! we did try in earnest to scale the garden back, but....well....didnt happen. since lea beth sent us this rad traditional/heirloom seed catalogue momma went from "lets scale back" to "oh....we can just disc more field, right?" and then there were the other catalogues....i swear...its like porn. we have all manner of nut trees on the way too. i have lots of pictures of this process, but i cant put them up today....since this is the work computer and all that...file share...blahblah....i have to hold out and do it when i have time at home ...and i do mean time, as we are still in dial-up world out in the country. (remember dial up folks?) so theres that yall. i feel like i just had a good catch up in the belly bowl with yall... more later justajenn (6 Comments |Comment on this)

I've got enough problems.""
