Why I Haven't Posted Recently...

#1- I've been fiddling my brains out at Hale Center Theatre. I'm in the Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday cast and it's a great show (but long. very very long). I'm also doing a lot of Monday shows for my double. On Saturday when I do the 4:00pm show, before the end of the show we have to start setting up for the next show at 7:30pm. There's a very quick turnover.
Fun story- I did the show Monday night and I left stage the same time I always do at the end of Act 1 (with 4 other people). I was talking to them in the green room when one of the Russians ran on and told me my microphone had been left on after I left. Right after someone gets knocked out with a bottle, there was silence on stage- except for everyone hearing me talk about what happened Saturday night at the show. Luckily I wasn't in the bathroom and I'm not a swearing sort of person. Come see the show- if you can get tickets. They just added 7 4:00pm matinees because it's been selling out.

#2- Connected to Fiddler, I've been sore because during the dream scene I wear a huge 75 pound fake head of Teyve's daughter on top of my own head. It needs to be seen to be believed. The 4 of us that have to wear them affectionally call them the damn bobble heads.

#3- I've taken students to The BYU Young Ambassadors Show (with Millie. That was interesting) and 12 Angry Men while also supervising the set for our high school play of The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940- which turned out great. We also went with our friends the Coxes to see the Broadway tour of Avenue Q- which was great as well.

#4- My school district is in uproar and dissarray. Hopefully I still have a job next year- (and if I do have a job, I will be teaching one more class with out being compensated).

***Beard Update 2010***

We are at the phase I like to call Adam Pontipee after Millie has kicked him out of the house.

I think it's funny that in one sentence you say you are not the swearing type and then in the next sentence you swear.
