Day 75

Dan Arrives.

A day of contradictions.

Dan arrived and brought with him a fresh energy.
A much needed breath of fresh air.

The same day.

A good friend lost the child inside her.
Horrifying tragedy.

When you are given such opposing circumstances at the same time, there must be a reason.
So one can keep everything in perspective perhaps.
Or to make you appreciate your life more.

Or just confuse the heck out of you when you are trying to come up with a clear thought about the day.

Day 74

Crabby.

When Plan A and B and sometimes even C don't work, do you continue to Plan D or do you scrap the original idea and discover a new Plan A?

Day 73

Parma Little Theatre.

Unpacking can be very theraputic.
Whether its clothing during vacation, a school bag at the end of the term, or a box of props from a past production.
Whatever the item, a memory is attached.

And that memory is forever.

Day 72

We are the Boys.

At a picnic we held over the weekend, one partygoer was heard to proclaim at least 12 times to various indivuals and groups,
"I can't drink today, I am driving two highschool girls and have a show to do tonight".

What is going on in a person to make them repeat a thought over and over to different and the same folk?
Do they realize they have already voiced the thought outloud several times?
Do they just need to be heard?

Maybe its lonleliness and that person deserves our compassion and not criticism.
Maybe its the onset of Alzheimers.

Maybe we shouldn't be as critical of others.

But damn, it makes for good conversation sometimes!

Day 71

St. Anthony of Padua.

Anticipation.

The day before rehearsals.
Tension is in the air.
Nerves are frayed.

Wound tight.

Will the next 24 hours run smoothly?
Have we anticpated all possible problems and issues?
Does the day before rehearsals ever get easier?

Will we sleep soundly tonight?

Day 70

Picnic.

Getting older sometimes feels unfare.
Sometimes unbelievalbe.
Sometimes frustrating.

But when you realize you aren't growing older alone and your good friends are going through the same life situations as you, age seems irrelevant.

Friendships.
Not age.

Day 69

For your Consideration.

Complete mental and physical exhaustion.
Everyone is tired.
Worn out.
Pooped.

Everyone, except the cat.

At first hestitant, Sondheim has taken the house by storm, leaping and bounding on every available surface.
And several unavailable spaces,
Such as this laptop.
While opened.
Being used.

With newly discovered claws.
