and so having seen the invitation for questions or concerns, I send this:

I am concerned about the recent developments in the political leadership of the country. This also leads to the question "just what were all those people thinking when they vote the way they did?" and "do we really have to live with this, or is there something we can do about it?".

I am concerned that we will go in so many bad directions, foreign policy, economic policy, environmental policy, education policy. Really I guess I am just concerned about everything.

Yes, I have a concern. I am concerned about everything.

I have some other questions too...

Is it ok to have just a fish choice and a veggie choice at a wedding, or does there have to be a meat or chicken choice too?

If there is over 100,000 miles on a car, is it time to buy a new one, or keep driving this one till it quits?

If not filing taxes quarterly, can one still claim to be an independent contractor?

Why does the blogger spell checker think "blog" isn't a word?

Do cats have feelings?

Are there too many Cirque companies in Las Vegas?

Is Listerine really as good for your teeth as flossing?

When dining at Eleven, should one order the Veal and Lobster or the Seafood Tasting?

Who drives on the right side of the road, Americans or the English?

If I think of any more I will be sure to send them.

Some times I crack myself up. I've so far gotten no response from Stage Management. Maybe they think its not their job. But then, really, she shouldn't have asked.
