Ace Morgan Theatre; 211 W
College St; Granville (Licking county)
Hours: 8pm. Play by Larry Shue. Witty repartee and madcap
slapstick are nicely balanced in this very funny play. Rising
young architect, Willum Cubbert, has often told his friends
about the debt he owes to Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI, whom he
has never met but who saved his life in Iraq. He had written to
Rick, “As long as I’m alive, you will have somebody on this
earth who will do anything for you." So when Rick shows up,
Willum is thrilled, until it becomes apparent that Rick is a
bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence and less
tact.

– Miles Davis Experience: 1949-1959
Midland Theatre; 36 North

Hours: 7:30pm. A
collaboration with Blue Note Records featuring the Ambrose
Akinmusire Quintet. Described as "remarkably fluid, with an
adventurous interplay and patiently imaginative way with
melody," Akinmusire and his band demonstrate a sound as steeped
in the music's history as it is hard-wired with the sound of
something new. With a chameleonic tone that can sigh, flutter
or soar, Akinmusire sounds less like a rising star than one that
was already at great heights and just waiting to be discovered.

Shop; 117 East Main St; Shawnee (Perry county)
Hours:
10am-5pm.
Definitely worth the trip to southern Perry county. Great location, perfectly appointed,
more. This food tasting event has been a long-time
favorite of ours! When we have guests we always recommend
a visit to the Community Exchange; they have a beautiful
sampling of items from regional artists and many items perfect
for gift-giving times. Over the years, I have
almost always come away with something new - an appetizer or dip
mix, sauces, soups...

Keep your friends close

My train of thought just derailed.
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and there would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!

Sheldon, on Christmas
Penny:
Hey, Sheldon.
Are you and Leonard putting up a Christmas tree?
Sheldon: No, because we
don’t celebrate the ancient pagan festival of Saturnalia.
Penny: Saturnalia?
Sheldon: In the
pre-Christian era, as the winter solstice approached and the plants
died, pagans brought evergreen boughs in their homes as an act of
sympathetic magic intended to guard the life essences of the plants
until spring. This custom was appropriated by northern
Europeans and, eventually, it became the so-called Christmas tree.
Penny: Okay, well,
thank you for that. I got you and Leonard a few silly neighbor
gifts so I’ll just put them under my tree.
Sheldon: Wait!
You bought me a present?
Penny: Uh-huh.
Sheldon: Why would you
do such a thing?
Penny: I don’t know.
Because it’s Christmas?
Sheldon: I know you
think you’re being generous but the foundation of gift-giving is
reciprocity. You haven’t given me a gift; you’ve given me an
obligation. … now I have to go out and purchase for you a gift
of commensurate value and representing the same level of friendship
as that represented by the gift you’ve given me. It’s no
wonder suicide rates skyrocket this time of year.
Sheldon, on Christmas
(again)
Penny:
Sheldon, what
about you? Did you have a Christmas tree?
Sheldon: Oh yes. We had a tree. We had a manger. We had an
inflatable Santa Claus with plastic reindeer on the front lawn. To
make things even more jolly, there were so many blinking lights on
the house they induced neighborhood-wide seizures.
Penny: I take it you don’t wanna help us trim the tree?
Sheldon: I do not.
But, if you insist on decorating a spider-infested fire hazard in my
home, I would request that you add this.
Penny: What is it?
Sheldon: You’re
kidding, right? It is a bust of Sir Isaac Newton.
Penny: Oh sure, very
Christmassy.
Sheldon: Excuse me, it
is much more Christmassy than anything you’ve put on the tree.
December 25th, 1642, Julian calendar, Sir Isaac Newton is born.
Jesus, on the other hand, was actually born in the summer. His
birthday was moved to coincide with the traditional pagan holiday
that celebrated the winter solstice with lit fires and slaughtered
goats. Which, frankly, sounds like more fun than 12 hours of
church with my mother followed by a fruitcake.
