Where am I and what am I doing?

So last week finished up three weeks in a row in the Los Angeles area. All very busy weeks, so sorry if I didn't get to see you. Did get to eat way too much at Todai with my brother from another mother, Menji (yes that's his blog in the links). As much as I dislike the amount of travel I do, it is great to see people when I travel. The other thing I had time to do was tweak the blog a little. Got a GPS program loaded on my phone, so now the map on will show where I was the last time I turned it on. I'll be changing the calendar to reflect where I'm going versus what I'm doing. If you want to know what I'm doing - give me a call.

So this week off to Seattle. Was going to drive, but don't know if I trust the road, so I'll end up training or planing depending on which schedule is better. Way too much to do, and too little time, but hey, that's the way it is for now.

What I did last summer

And now for the promised Fiddler pictures.
These are from our tech rehearsal.

This is me hanging with Tevya.
Yes, the beard was real, but now it's gone.













Here is me as a bottle dancer...
(We had black coats for our performances)













and me in winter (in the tan coat).













Here is my Lovely Wife - as Frumah Sara.













Here's a wider shot of the dream scene.
I'm hiding in the background.













Here are a couple with Laura as a villager.
She's the one in red.
And look, I'm in the first one too.
































It was a wonderful experience being in Fiddler with my Sweetie. We had a great cast and when it finally came down to the performances, we put so much heart into it, we had as much fun performing as the audience had watching. Would I do another play? Well, maybe, if it was a story I liked, but if I had the chance to do Fiddler again, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

Only a few more miles, but many hours

Well, that one 22 hour day I was going to work ... well, turned out they canceled my flight, couldn't get me there until late afternoon, and couldn't get me home until Wednesday morning. So my day trip turned into a three day trip - stupid holiday travelers wanting to get home to their families. But the trip was successful and I made it home for Thanksgiving.
