For a single person, Valentine’s Day is about as fun as getting your teeth pulled.

Even though it’s kind of a non-holiday, it’s treated like the most romantic day of the year. Insert gagging noises here.

But my point isn’t to berate or belittle Valentine’s Day; it’s to let all the single ladies out there know you’re not alone.

The trap many women fall into, especially if they are feeling lonely on a day like Valentine’s Day, is they go out looking for someone rather than the one.

Hardin County Playhouse actors tell a story of scandal in a Texas town when they present “Sordid Lives,” which opens tonight.

In the play, set in the late 1990s, scandal erupts after Peggy Ingram dies in a seedy motel room, actor Jorge Lopez said.

As the play develops, this incident triggers a chain reaction that changes her entire family.

A couple Fridays ago, when many in Hardin County were waking up to an ice-covered world, our Pomeranian, Tybalt, discovered the hazards of weather.

In his normal fashion, after my significant other, Rebecca, attached his leash, Tybalt excitedly ran out ahead of her as she opened the back door to take him out. He was greeted by an icy concrete porch and patio that resulted in a few slips before he could regain his footing.

Hardin County Playhouse is hoping area actors answer the call to jury duty when it holds auditions Monday and Tuesday for its production of “Twelve Angry Jurors.”

Auditions begin at 6:30 p.m. each day at Plum Alley Theater in the Historic State Theater. Needed are 13 men and women who are of believable age for jury selection.

Those auditioning will read from scripts with other actors. Prepared material is not needed.
