    but you can. good for you for going out to audition.

  3. Ha, Nelly! Yes. Yes, I’ll give you my autograph.

    Thanks, Margo, and Kate, if she didn’t take my advice, then tough Tootsie Rolls for her.

  4. Yeah! Avidbruxist! I hope they cast you in something soon, dammit.

    If not, I’ll provide drinks and popcorn and you can put on a show for us in my backyard. We can charge admission too. Viola – a career change!

  5. The Amy Show! I’ll do monologues and tell stories about my horrible dates and tell people they should EAT certain gluten-free products and—pfthpt!—NOT EAT others. I think we’re going to make a lot of money, Mary.
