Victoria and Paul Bestock’s talented daughter Shana Bestock is a professional theater director and has a play going up in October! It features a cast of four 70-year-old women and is a unique look at aging, female friendships, climate catastrophe, isolation, and connection. It's a little weird, but also funny, and profoundly human. We’re invited to attend the Saturday, October 3rd, 7:30 performance in Kenmore (followed by a post-play discussion with the director and cast). Tickets are available HERE and you can use the code Teaf&f for a friends&family discount. Victoria needs a ride so if you can take her, you’ll have a free ticket. Please contact Victoria to confirm. And even if you can't come on October 3rd, the discount is good anytime during the run! More Info HERE
If you think you want to attend an Asset Mapping gathering, but haven’t told me yet, please do so. We’ve got opportunities during October – November and again next year.
Sharing
From Margaret Fisher: Washington DC Judge Russ Canan (my classmate) and our own King County Superior Court Judge Bill Downing (ret.) are sharing a rare look at the approaches judges take in high profile and difficult cases. They are speaking at Elliott Bay Books at 7 p.m. on Friday, 9/18 (no cost). They launched their book at Politics & Prose in DC a few weeks ago to a packed crowd. The book consists of 13 chapters each written by a different judge about how they approached a challenging case. Any questions, please ask at mfisher130@gmail.com -- Hope to see you at one location or another.
Here is a link to the type of grab bar I’ve just had installed in my bathroom. No tools or drilling required and they are super nice: https://www.vitalitymedical.com/no-drilling-required-grab-bars-1-1-2.html If you’re interested, I can probably find someone to install them for free for you.
