My Kid and other offspring of the clowns on stage were in the audience today. That was fun. We could hear the little boy laughing and commenting. A younger one was scared for a moment. My Kid was thrilled by a visit to the light booth after the show.

I was thinking of the comments from an actor who came to the show last night.  He also does some stage clown work.  He’s youngish white male from a traditional background. He was blown away by the female energy he felt coming from the stage.  The thing that is surprising to me is that it [...]

We’re not yet up.  I’ve just gotten to the point where I suddenly realize that the coffee I have consumed this morning is not enough and I must have food now.  However, in the time since we woke up but didn’t get out of bed except to make coffee, we’ve bought tickets to see Barack [...]

We had a full house and they laughed. Afterwards I talked for a few minutes with some of my friends, from Jef Johnson’s Clownlab, who came together to see the show. One of the guys was quite impressed with all the female energy.  He said he fell in love with all of the women and [...]

The world is watching us and begging us to think of others.  That is what the Nobel committee has said so effectively by giving the Nobel Peace Prize to President Barack Obama before he has even done anything.  I fear, that they fear, that we, the self-absorbed people of the United States of America (Congress, [...]

Conversation turned to who we used to be: beautiful young women.   Now we are getting used to being invisible in public.  Some of us are tired mothers with altered bodies and neglected wardrobes.  We no longer attract attention of strange men on the street.  Online dating sights are full of men our own age [...]

While I was running errands yesterday I went into the Barnes & Noble on Court Street and came across an interesting book.  It’s called The Dancing Plague, The Strange, True Story of an Extraordinary Illness, by John Waller.  Full of footnotes, the book must have begun as an academic paper.  It describes a woman in [...]

Watching the clock…  How much can I get done before I have to leave?  I have two and a half hours before I have to leave for the theatre.  My Kid has Robotics after school today and The Husband is planning to leave work early to pick her up, so I don’t have to leave [...]

Watching So You Think You Can Dance and thinking about the clown show. “That was not good.”  ”You didn’t bring it in personality.”  ”Prove to the judges that you’re good enough.”  ”That was not strong enough”.  ”We would like you to fight for you life today.”   “Show the judges that I am here to [...]
