Internet connection has been wonky the last couple days. I think it’s all better now.
Today, a whole selection of miscellaneous journaling/ramblings/whatever.

Tigers
Oh my.

It’s the 4th inning, and the Tigers are getting spanked, 9 to 1, by the White Sox.

Mamma said there’d be days like this.

I mean, they are the world champions, so you have to give them a little credit. Still, it’d be nice if the Tigers could remember what it was they did the first 5 games to go undefeated, y’know? They’ve lost 3 games in a row since then and, unless something big happens, are on their way to losing this one.

Williamston Theatre
Tonight’s a big night. Our final Open House, but even more importantly, a big fundraising event at the same time: our Silent Auction. Read all about it! Because of the show I’m directing, I can’t be there, which is frustrating. Still, the rest of the staff rocks, and some Board Members and volunteers will be running it with them, so it’s going to be great!

Directing
The show is going well. Working with students again is fun. A great group, they’re doing very good work. We’ll be sliding into tech’s after Easter, which will be fun – there’s a huge amount of tech for this show (booth tech – lights and sound), and although the set never really changes I’m betting the Stage Manager and crew are easily looking at over a hundred cues.

Family
They’re great. My lovely wife Jeanne is awesome, and our son Max is turning 6 in just a couple weeks! I have to recount this story about our 8 year old, Maggie, though. In fact, it’ll be even easier to just paste in the email from Maggie’s teacher, who sent it to Jeanne:

So we are doing a quick lesson on antonyms when I ask “What’s the antonym of SAME?”
Maggie raises her hand all proud and I say, “Maggie, come on up!”
And she says…”NOT same!”

More soon. Time to go run some errands and enjoy the fabulous weather!
Oh, and as I prepare to hit “Save Entry”, the Tigers have come back a bit: it’s 10 to 7 now!
