"Fifth of July" 12th & 13th Rehearsal: Chiggers

Well, the last two days have been a struggle.  Thankfully, for my ego, I am not the only one grappling with the lines.  I also left each night with a headache and/or a stomachache from smoking tarragon.  Yes, tarragon.  We smoke a joint together on stage and party pooper August won't let us smoke a real one.  (Something about the law, or some nonsense.)  So, we have to settle for tarragon for now.  Apart from the side effects, it won't stay lit.  So, Chris Carver, M.D. gave us a lecture of how to keep it lit and the best way to smoke it.  He jumped three lines just get the joint passed to him.  I don't know why.  The tarragon just makes your mouth taste herby and you want to eat grapes.  It must be pavlovian for him.  He sees a joint and starts to salivate.  Silly Carver.
