After we left Bigfork we drove to Lake Mary Ronan because my dad wanted to eat at his favorite restaurant.  Then my dad and sister and kid fished for perch off the end of the dock.   Fall is coming to this part of the country.  The playhouse is winding down it’s season and the [...]

8/17/09 I stopped by the theatre to pick up my reunion t-shirt. Then I walked along Electric Avenue and looked at the shops, some that were there when I was a playhouse actor and most that were not.  In the gift shop next to the theatre I heard some people talking about JK Simmons and [...]

Sunday 8/16/09 We got lost on the way to the softball game because it wasn’t where I thought it would be.  It wasn’t where we played against the town when I was a company member.  The game was fun to watch.  There was beer and clowning and the old guys who were in the playhouse [...]

8/15/09 We got into town in time to see the special matinee performance of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.  At the same time as I was watching the current production I had a movie in my mind of the production of the same show that I was in when I was a company member [...]

8/15/09 Wow it’s weird to be here in Bigfork, staying in a hotel, in town for an event, like a middle-aged person.  Not like when I was one of the company actors living 4 to a room in the dorm.  Not like when I was a kid in awe of the professional actors and asking [...]

Friday, August 14, 2009 OK, The Best Aunt in the World just took the cousins bowling (an excellent choice since it is raining.) and I finally have a moment to myself. We went to the fair yesterday. It was not a fair day.  It was raining when we walked the kids over to swimming lessons [...]

My Kid and her Girl Cousin have just run in the front door with their dolls; “They’re spraying a house and the lawn of the church.  We had to run all the way to get away from the bad smell!  We held our breath!”  They are perhaps a little too aware of environmental toxins.    [...]

I was literally plugging in my laptop so I can check my e-mail from a public wi-fi site (because my parents only have dial-up) when my cell phone rang.  It was Kendall asking if I’ve sent out the e-mail blast asking for donations for the troupe. Yikes I haven’t.  GUILT.  I’m a bad friend.  I [...]

I was just checking my e-mail before I went back to the room from the lovely hotel lobby with beverages and wi-fi and there is an e-mail that informs me that the Bigfork Summer Playhouse reunion is only days away.  I haven’t really thought about that yet.  I bought a ticket.  But, I haven’t thought [...]
