Soli easily caught and held this anole; maybe it is sick?

Feeling pretty boring and depressed; not much to share with the rest of the world.

Garden is great; eating lots of good food. My young friend Soli helped me pick the first peas and some more asparagus after our now ritual game of Save the Whales. We ate them with cauliflower-cheese pie, a delicious variation on quiche with a crispy potato crust.

I drove to Town and Gown to audition for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It was hard to get up the energy to go; auditions are one of the hardest things in the world, espcially since it is very unlikely for me to get a part. Lots of young skinny women; my only hope is that they need someone who looks older. Only 8 women's parts (and 8 men's--almost always true that it is much easier to get a part if you are male, because fewer men audition).

Feeling so useless I cried myself to sleep, in spite of Ray's attempts to comfort me.
