   I'm freakin' out! Just got an email from a theater company in New York City that's been experimenting with performing monologues based on current issues in the blogosphere. They've gotten great reviews, so they're doing more now. They want to perform one of my hubs!

    Thanks, hubbers. I can't wait to learn more. BTW, hubby has just informed me that he has no interest in going to NYC, and to be honest, I have mixed feelings about it, too. Maybe they'll videotape the performance and send me a copy. I just think it's a nice compliment that they want to use my hub. And I think it will give me some more exposure to my writing, which is always a good thing!
