Wow - really missing performing. Today for some reason is hitting me hard! Saw pics of my good friend onstage in a great show and the jealousy bug hit! Hopefully I can do something soon. the reunion is coming along...I am very proud of what is being accomplished and honored to be a part of it!

inspired

I was just inspired by a former student to chronicle my life. Starting today I will document the trivial, the exciting, the mundane and the intriguing. I am in the midst of wonderfult and fullfilling things at work we have just put to bed a book, a documentary, a song book and a amjor exhibit all in conjunction with the 150th anniversary of the wondrous YALE GLEE CLUB. While I have the most stress I ever have, it is the most generous and satisfying stress to be imagined.

almost 800 alums and families will becoming to a party I am throwing and I have to impress them all. AND DAMNIT! I WILL!

Why can’t I get a little respect for what I try to do rather than criticism and made to feel that I am so inadequate..........simple question

not in a great place

In a kind of a funk................BOE is insane, I sepnt 6 weeks putting together a mediocre show....now onto Christmas which I am REALLY not int he mood for.

I need time and the ability to do nothing or whatever I want........

some other time, I guess.

Last night I though botany or mortuary science was an option, however, 7 people made me feel as though I could do it...

LOVE THEM!

UGH.....Don’t you hate when you second guess yourself........I have begun to second guess my talent...I used to rely on it, now...with FROSTY....I feel as though I have lost it......I am torn with betraying a friend, dealing with the worst script I have ever read and a cast I did not cast. They may never hire me to direct again after this...... Can you lose talent and instinct?

Well, got my date for lap band surgery....a little freaked since I have some leg swelling and I am little cocerned that it is DVT or something that would preclude the surgery...HOPE NOT! told my Mom today and while that should seem easy for a 47 y.o. man....what she thinks matters a lot. She was fine with it!.

More soon
