  • opening day finds me desperately hoping that the old adage that the worse the dress rehearsal, the better the performance rings true. Last night was amazingly awful: the children were all at each other's throats, miss…

  • and once again they pull through ... play practice last night was right on track, almost exactly where it should be for a show that's opening in two days. (breathes deep sigh of relief). working with children is madnes…

  • bother it all: this play is not coming together as well as i'd like. why, oh why, will the children simply refuse to memorize their lines? am still holding out hope that opening night will be miraculous ... we shall s…

  • stayed up at the school until 10:30 programming lights: am unspeakably relieved that the play will now be well-lit (go ahead and laugh, kids, but you know what i'm really talking about). now if i could somehow guarant…

  • having only read the first several chapters, i find this book, as a memoir, engaging, but as a theological treatise, a bit dodgy. am enjoying it, though, as have long abandoned the expectation of finding good theology…

  • I need some meaning I can memorize The kind I have always seems to slip my mind

  • and now it's time for my favorite game: linking my children's visages to those of various celebrities. i know, i know, this one is not nearly as compelling as the remarkable Devin/Demi resemblence: nevertheless; there …

  • the SACS man cometh ... in other news, had the most productive day ever yesterday. do so love productivity, wish innate laziness did not prevent me from it on such a regular basis.

  • i love the beginnings of things: everything is new and fresh and exciting and promising and full of potential. perhaps someday i shall find something whose fruition lives up to the promise of its initiation: a situati…

  • i really enjoyed watching the oscars last night - Jon Stewart hosted quite well, none of the gowns made me cringe, and was pleased as punch when Reese won for Best Actress. congrats Reese: now in addition to having th…

  • i have the metabolism of an orca. seriously. i have had three sizeable mugs full of Starbucks coffee - STRONG coffee - and i feel not a thing.

  • This album encapsulates last spring for me: i listen to it and suddenly i am stressing out about Looking Glass Land and wondering if Jeramy brought his guitar to school. you've come a long way, baby. in other news: pr…
