I am still struggling with the production process and how it all went down, how Kendall was disappointed with my work and I was so upset that I shook.
Because Kendall told me that I was drifty and unfocused in rehearsal and because of all the talk about stepping up and taking on production tasks, I [...]

OK I’m awake and thinking of the novelty facebook quiz I took last night, what mental illness are you, that told me I was panic anxiety disorder and so now I have awakened in the middle of the night wondering if that is true.
Maybe that’s why Kendall is always telling me I look confused.
Maybe that’s [...]

There’s this thing that is done in Montana.  Floating on a river in a rubber raft.  It’s fun.  It’s done with friends.  It’s relaxing.  It’s making me really sad that we are going back to New York tomorrow.  Missoula “A River Runs Through It” Montana really is a beautiful place!  I will miss it.

My dad really wanted to take the grandkids to the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge up the Bitterroot not far from Missoula.  It’s a beautiful spot but I’m afraid the kids weren’t impressed.  What visible wildlife there was were birds and ducks.  It was hot.  The grass was dry.
Splash Montana rounded out the afternoon and [...]

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 company years [...]

The Missoula Public Library and The Book Exchange

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 [...]
