It’s time to share some more photos in this Commonplace Journal!  Wednesday Pic Post, here we come!  (Well, it’s after midnight, so it’s technically “Thursday Pic Post”, but who wants to be technical after midnight?)

We open “The Usual” on Friday.  Previews have gone well, the rehearsals this week have been a fun process of polishing, trimming, and a little adding (like a newly minted dream sequence).  We also made some small adjustments to the set, and some prop tweaks.  Here’s an example of the kind of props we were playing with:(This sticker and more like it can be found here!)

(Since I’ve been making these crockpot meals more often, I have a feeling that “Songs From Inside A Crockpot” could become a recurring literary & musical theme in our house…)

And another Wednesday has come and gone.  Now… sleep!
