Buh Bye...





Last show in Houston. A few last minute images to share with folks.

A shot of the Astros/Brewers game - with my free bat. It was also dollar hotdog night.

The Homer puzzle - looks simple right? Oh no it wasn't. It's one of those pictures that's made up of lots of other pictures. It took well over two weeks for about a half dozen of us to finish. WE DID !!

Oh and the last! My favorite. Dollar Friday's are a tradition on the road. Everyone throws a dollar in a bucket with their name on it. A dollar is drawn out. The name is the winner. One year on the road and I FINALLY WON!

Off to Hartford on Monday morning. Tomorrow a day off

WOW!

A politician speaking and more importantly acting from a place of integrity instead of dodging accusations or making excuses.

Pure heart and at the expense of his party stance and the people who voted for him.

Don't watch the sound bites - see the whole thing

Friends on stage



So the press opening was Thursday but for those at the venue tonight is opening.

With no rehearsal and only about two hours notice a certain tall redhead is going on tonight in one of the ensemble roles. It is such a kick to know someone as long as I have known the redhead.

Tonight marks another in a long line of life chapters. Friendship and theatre - forever interconnected with this one.

It's weird to not have Judith having people hold hands and play the energy passing game or having him teasing me about telling people where to be when.

At the same time it's wonderful to be blessed with a friendship that has lasted as long as this one has.

Many years - quite and honor.

I'm a lucky person to have many people in my life who are just amazing.

The Darts begin to fly

Proof that Americans are a cynical bunch.

Even when seeing shows where people break into song they are looking for realism in a bunch of poverty stricken kids who want to cling to ANY hope?

Huh?

I will say it's not entirely off point. The race relations thing is WAY off and a bit of a slap to our sick history of treating people badly who are different.

Anyway.

The photo above comes from the Houston Underground. It's the marker that when you are going through the tunnels that tells you that you have reached the City Hall building. It's also a marker that helps me find my way to the theatre.
