THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Diva

At least the nasty weather is keeping everyone inside, and it's a good thing, too. Spring Street -- the main street in our lovely town -- is being torn up and repaved this week. It's made our daily walks to get lunch pretty noisy. Hopefully the roadwork will be done soon -- just in time to be driven on by hoards of theatre-goers this summer.

The Williamstown Theatre Festival starts its season this Friday with "Tonight at 8:30," by Noel Coward. Should be a busy weekend in town. Don't get me wrong -- I love the hustle and bustle of Williamstown in the summer, but sometimes I wish we had more of a break from visitors! As soon as the Williams students leave for summer break, the tourists descend upon us! I guess if I want more peace and quiet than I already have, I'd have to move somewhere even more remote! (Might be hard.)

Now you can get twice the bucks from Builder Bucks when you build a Web site using Tripod Site Builder or Trellix Web.
