OH, SAY CAN YOU SEE?
The editor learned Monday that his time with the eye surgeons is not over. He must experience laser eye surgery on both his eyes today, Wednesday, Feb 10, and that will be followed soon by another real surgery. This may be the last edition for a while. Keep him in your thoughts.

2) BLUESMAN DADDY BONE IS RELATED TO – THE QUEEN?
Yep, it seems that Mike “Daddy Bone” Boning has a tale of royal connections. Well, sort of. He says, “My oldest daughter Hanna is going to be the Queen at the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire here in L.A. That’s right, Queen Elizabeth Regina Gloriana etc. etc. etc. Woohoo! I mean Huzzah! Hanna has been acting in plays since she was 13 and she has been at the Renaissance Faire since she was 3 days old. This is the first Queen E to have been a bonafide faire brat! If you have ever wanted to go to the Renaissance Faire, this is the year to do it. It’s Saturdays & Sundays, April 10-May 23, from 10 am-7 pm at the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area in beautiful Irwindale, California. If you go to the faire website, you can probably find some discount ticket promotions. But do it soon. The closer it gets to faire time, the harder it is to find bargains.” The site is www.renfair.com/socal
