    July Focus

    Same two leading roles this month:
    Tallow Williams
    2011 Mühle R41 loaded with the ever popular Personna 74 Tungsten, making its umpteenth appearance.
    Guest stars for today's episode:
    Morris & Forndran Polo 2, sporting its Finest Fur"
    and, directly from the Spanish stage:
    Myrsol Emulsion
    (cue applause)

    Prologue
    Mr. Williams and Mr. Morris & Forndran took at short, warm bath (separately of course)

    Myrsol applied itself to the beard area.
    ~~~~~~
    Act I, scene i
    M&F (as he likes to be called) loaded up with the fatty, moist Mr. Williams, who, as usual, appeared to be rather soused.

    Aside: this is an ongoing issue, which has been brought up with Mr. Williams' agent.
    scene ii
    M&F, in a calm and relaxed manner, worked Mr. Williams thoroughly all over the stage. (exit M&F)
    scene iii
    (Enter R41)
    With delicate ease, R41 moved from upstage right to downstage right; repeating this motion as he worked from stage right to stage left.
    Amazingly, R41 was able to maintain a curious angle which almost appeared to the audience as if he were floating on his head!
    (thunderous applause)
    (cue water)
    Curtain
    ~~~~~
    Intermission
    ~~~~~~
    Act II, scene i
    After M&F circumnavigates the stage, suddenly and without warning, he unloads his entire supply of Mr. Williams!
    Pirouetting and with gay abandon, M&F floods the entire stage.
    (The audience goes berserk)
    scene ii

    R41's makes his second and FINAL appearance for this morning's production.
    (It was decided by the producer and director, that this show has been dragging too long and has all too often,
    left the audience bloodied and battered.

    In the interest of quality entertainment, the show's running time was shortened by 1/3)
    R41 was choosy in his stage movement, while still maintaining that unique style of his, he moved around the stage like Barishnikov,
    or even, if it may be said, Nureyev.
    The audience is standing, cheering, calling for more!
    But the curtain is pulled.
    ~~~~~
    Epiloge
    Mr Alum is disappointed that he was only able to elicit a 1
    Mr. Myrsol cleaned up the stage.

    That's the only way to get parts of my neck and face. Go slow and build the muscle memory up. (As a side note, its great training wheels for when you join the dark side and start with straights.)

    I switch hands with all razors. I find it easier than shaving with a razor held “backwards”.

    A truly excellent review was forthcoming from the local theatre critic for the premiere of the new ballet based on The Barber of Seville...

    Thanks, Bruce.

    My leg is healing really well. I had X-rays and a check last Thursday and all the bone jigsaw pieces are healing back together cleanly. I have another week on crutches with no weight on the leg, then two weeks "ghostwalking" with the crutches still as I gradually increase the weight on the leg, and then I should be back to walking around normally (and driving - yay!). So by the end of July I should be down to a cane at most and back to my normal lifestyle.
