Quick update: I am still alive. Job is still going great. Good shows in production. Still in love. I have no food or money, but I’ve still got my health, so what do I care?

Long time, no post. Easter today. It was a great Easter, albeit a busy one. I had my first airport drop-off in Sarasota at 5:25AM, followed by a drop-off in Tampa, a return to Sarasota, another drop-off in Tampa, another return to Sarasota and one pick-up at Sarasota. I didn’t make it to and Easter service, but I listened to one on the radio. ( Read more... )

Today has been a great day. It’s one of the days that you’ll never remember, but manages to impact your life forever. Lauren’s mom is down from New Jersey. Lauren said she’s been asking about me every time she’s called since her visit in December. We went to the Sports Page last night and we’re going again tonight. It’s all about the nachos.

I forgot to mention. I met the lighting designer for the Fitzgerald Theatre in St. Paul this week. I didn't realize it until I was giving him a ride to the airport to fly home to Minneapolis last night. He's Garrison's lighting designer, appeared briefly in the movie A Prairie Home Companion, he's worked shows at the Penumbra, Chanhassen, the ( Read more... )

I really should post more. I went home a while back. It was wonderful, fun, disturbing, awkward, sexy, exhausting and exhilarating all at once. But, it was necessary. I no longer have this fantasy of Bemidji being the place I need to be. I don’t miss it. Don’t get me wrong, I miss the people something fierce, but not the place. That’s all I’ ( Read more... )

I’ll be home soon, if only for a little bit, and I’ve been thinking about how I’ve changed since I’ve left. I’ve realized I’ve changed quite a bit. First, appearance. Not much has changed. I still look chubby, although I’ve lost six inches off my waist. I lost weight so fast that I looked a little sickly, but lately I’ve been focusing on ( Read more... )

My goodness, it has been a long time. Many changes have occurred since my last post. Most recently, Patt and Ernie Rall came to visit. They saw two of our shows, Over the Rainbow and Golda’s Balcony. I’m happy to report that both gave absolutely glowing reviews for both. They had even seen Golda on Broadway and said it was just as good, if not ( Read more... )

Well, I did decide to go to Uncle George’s and Aunt Holly’s. The promise of breakfast with homemade cinnamon rolls was too much to pass up. And I had a lot of laundry ( Read more... )

Christmas… What is up with Christmas? Why does it feel so important to be around people you love this time of year? And because of your situation, and this is the clincher, what the hell do you do if you can’t? It’s Christmas Eve and I’m sitting in my Efficiency alone. My plan for the day is to watch Grey’s Anatomy, thank you Alice, and any ( Read more... )

I’m not sure what my last entry entailed, but a few updates for you. I know I said I was the makeup artist for Golda’s Balcony and this is true, however I’ve assumed a new role. One I do not completely agree that there should even be, let alone me doing it. I’m her prompter. She’s a professional actress, it’s a one-woman show that opened over a ( Read more... )
