The weather is absolutely perfect. A walk with the dogs. Coffee on the deck with my amazing wife. The homophobic bigot attacking family and friends on my Facebook page has been banished. I fixed a dryer vent without having to call for help, my immune therapy treatment returned good lab results, I get to edit a podcast today AND I get to see a performance of the beautiful piece of theatre, Outside Mullingar, at Williamston Theatre.
Thanks, Universe.
Some things to celebrate!
It’s a nice Wednesday. The weather is great. I took a nice walk with my daughter and dogs.
Today would’ve been my Dad’s birthday. It’s a hard day, and I miss him like crazy, but I also am choosing to celebrate today – to celebrate the wonderful life he had, and the fact that without him I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Happy Birthday, Dad!
We are in rehearsal for Williamston Theatre’s production of Outside Mullingar, a beautiful play. Plus, this week is our staged reading series Dark Nights In Billtown, which is a ton of fun.
The Detroit Tigers are doing well – it’s so nice to have baseball back!
We went on a fabulous vacation – Jeanne and the kids and I went to Universal Studios and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and had a fabulous time.
Hogwarts!
Sirens is going well – audiences are really enjoying it, so am I, and I think the cast and crew are also! If you’re in Michigan, come see a show!
The Tigers start the season next week. Some big changes to the team, let’s hope they can still make it to the postseason. Should be an interesting summer of baseball!
Re-organized my website a little bit – new theme, eliminated/changed some pictures, etc… Let me know what you think! I’ll be updating the Team Tony slideshow soon too – got some new ones to add! 🙂
My kids went to NYC and performed at Lincoln Center with the Chelsea High School Orchestra and Choir. I’m so proud of them. We’re incredibly fortunate to have the amazing music program we have here in Chelsea Schools, led by some incredible teachers.
Williamston Theatre announced our 2015-2016 Season. It’s our 10 Year Anniversary! That’s just amazing. And we nailed down some great directors for those great plays, too. (I’ll be directing two, plus we have Joey Albright, Julia Glander, Lynn Lammers and Suzi Regan directing!)
And, just for fun, here’s a video that John Lepard made about our Tech Day for Sirens!
Walking into the gas station, wearing my Green Lantern sweatshirt. A guy about 20 years younger than me is coming through the door, wearing a Superman sweatshirt. He holds the door for me and our eyes meet as we pass.
“Hal”, he nods.
“Kal”, I nod back.
“Be safe out there” he says, and continues into the parking lot.
A woman waiting for us to clear the doorway looks at me quizzically. I smile at her, “Ma’am”, and keep walking.
Best. Gas. Station. Moment. Ever.
This whole being in a coma, coming out of a coma and being prescribed a LOT of regularly taken medicine has REALLY improved my ability to swallow a whole handful of pills at once!
Hmmmm. Yeah…now that I’m thinking that through, it sounds less good…
Ah, well. Celebrate Everything, right?!
