I do have a life outside this blog you know
10 by 10 in the Triangle
The ArtsCenter of Carrboro
Through July 20
The ArtsCenter's seventh annual 10 by 10 in the Triangle festival is "the year of high-risk behavior," according to the program notes.
The first half of 10 by 10 is the more predictable, other plays in this half deal with similar issues, such as an employee and human resources manager discovering common ground (Exit Interview) or a prospective stepmother and stepdaughter scoping each other out at a ball game (Hard Ball).
The second half veers into more unpredictable territory, starting with David Guaspari's Speed Mating, an endearingly goofy bit about insect mating rituals. Several performers stand out in multiple plays, notably veteran writer and performer John Boni, who does some soulful, restrained work in Canyon's Edge, Off to Summer and Messages Deleted, the last of which is the only play not to contain comic elements. Barbette Hunter and Rob Jenkins also do consistently energetic and thoughtful work, often rising above the scripts' more predictable twists, and John Allore also stands out as a stroke-afflicted writer in Struck by J and a man narrating his dysfunctional past in Dead Cat.
The more offbeat plays are the most enjoyable, but the energy level stays high throughout the entire show. Besides, knowing that each play only lasts 10 minutes means that if you don't enjoy one, you can take comfort in the fact that it'll soon be over.

You know, John, it really is not necessary to state the obvious - we ALL have lives outside these blogs of ours... That is why they are not updated hourly or something!
Ignore the naysayers, critics and others of their type - and simply continue doing you thing on this blog.
It is admirable.
A favor?
Maybe you could send me the link to your post that I recall seeing before, the one that listed all the recent victims of crime in thi area...?
I did see this on your blog - right?
Godspeed, John!
