REPOST: Rec – Verdigris – A Play by Jim Beaver

Standard

verdigris

As part of my salute to fandom week, I’m switching up Thursday’s Weekly Recommendation to post today. I am so excited to be able to promote this (and I’ll be reposting it a couple of more times this week and next until they reach their goal.)

This is a kickstarter to raise the funds needed for Verdigris to be performed March 13 though April 19, 2015 at Theatre West in Los Angeles, CA.

Verdigris was written by Jim Beaver and previously performed by Theatre West in 1985 with Maureen Stapleton in the leading role. It was the winner of the Los Angeles Dramalogue Critics Award for Playwriting and a finalist for Actors Theatre of Louisville Great American Play Contest.

Jim is well known from his roles in Deadwood and Supernatural. He is also a film historian and his memoir, Life’s That Way about his wife, Cecily’s cancer diagnosis and their daughter’s autism diagnosis shows the heartbreak and the faith and love that this man has for his family. He’s a good soul who’s all heart. (Full disclosure if it wasn’t apparent: I’m a fan.)

Theatre West – for information and to support their other projects

To support Verdigris through their Kickstarter (there are only 16 days to go, and the minimum pledge is $1 – let’s help them out!)

Rec – MediSafe App

Standard

I’ve been using the MediSafe App for about six months. It is really genius. It helps me keep track of my medicine, when I take it, when I skip it (I sometimes skip the supplements, but never the prescriptions). It’s especially great if you take medication for chronic conditions and can also keep track of when you need refills.

You can also add a third party notifier, which is great for people with memory problems.

It will let you add doses for when you take Tylenol for a headache and that way keep track of ‘as needed’ medications.

It has other features that I haven’t even looked into yet because I was trying out the alarm function first.

I’m not sure how I managed my medication before this!

 

Do you know what’s so awesome about Cracker Barrel?

Standard

I had a little cash left over from my retreat week.
CB has a lunch special for less money than going to McDonald’s. (And the bathroom is way cleaner)
CB also has no WiFi.
I can stay there pretty much as long as I like
CB also has so much white noise that it gives you just enough distraction not to be distracted (I wrote two full pieces!)
And they will refill your soda an obscene amount of times plus give you a to-go cup for one more refill on your way out
