Picture This

FInally a chance to get some new pictures up. It has been a difficult week, between catching up with sleep after the Boston trip and trying to keep up on rehearsals for "You Can't Take It With You." This week coming up is Production Week, also lovingly called "Hell Week," at the end of which is opening night on the 4th, and then performances on the 5th, 11th, 12th, and 13th. And that will end my theatrical career with The Village Players. For this year, anyway.

Work on the new house has come nearly to a standstill because of the weather, but there is finally a light at the end of that snowy tunnel, with warmer days predicted after Monday for at least the following week. Not a lot of thawing, but the trend is heading in the right direction.

Meanwhile, snow or no snow, we are taking advantage of the fact that the house is watertight to use parts of it (the parts we intend to finish last) for some short-term storage so that we can get our current house ready to show. The weather has thwarted us there, too; our driveway is currently very uninviting and there is no way we can market the house until it is at least clear enough to turn around in.

But the time will come, and then all of our attention will be focused on what it takes to be able to travel west, about 16 weeks from now. At which time, I'm happy to say, I won't be writing about the snow for many months to come.
