Jim Posante/Take Me Out
Jim Posante is, at last report, in stable condition, but still sedated in the hospital. I was told that they will begin weaning him off of the medication slowly so that he will wake in the next day or two.

The show that I took over for him, Take Me Out, is in good shape. My first rehearsal with the group went well last night, a good bunch of guys. It’s a complicated show, lots of set changes, video effects, fully functioning showers and the like. The cast seems to be okay with the change in leadership, although of course we all wish it hadn’t been necessary.

Some exciting progress toward a building for us! I’ll announce more when I’ve more official news, but a huge step in the right direction for us. Very exciting. Everyone keep your fingers crossed.

Family
After our New York and 4th of July trips, we’re all happy to be back home. Maggie is taking diving lessons, and yesterday she conquered her fear of the back dive! Max and Maggie set up a restaurant in the basement (with Jeanne’s help), and this morning they treated Jeanne and I to breakfast. It was great, Maggie was hostess/server and Max was “The Money Guy” with the cash register. Of course, they wanted to be in the scene, too, so after the waitress brought our food, she disappeared, and Maggie came running in as Maggie, saying “Hi! Sorry I’m late!” then would excuse herself to go to the bathroom, and the waitress would appear again. It was great fun.
