Over 20 years after “West End Girls” made them a name, the Pet Shop Boys have a new album out in Europe (it hits the States on April 21st). Man, is it good … it’s pure pop brilliance! “RUN!” and don’t walk to pick up “Yes.” Or better yet, spring for “Yes Etc.” with a bonus disc of dub mixes.

Yeah. I am bad about posting. I know. I keep saying that.

“Rabbit Hole” has now finished. It was lightly attended but I guess I should have expected that given the show’s subject matter. The cast was awesome and I am blown away by the great work they did.

And now I am in rehearsals for “HONK!” and scheming to get “Bug” up and rolling for the Studio Season next year.

Work has started on a business endeavor for the web … but I want to wait and reveal more on that when I actually have something to “show” instead of just “tell.”

I love being able to oder things from England! I now can start getting all the series sets of one of my favorite shows, “Most Haunted“

It’s April now which doesn’t necessarily mean warm weather. It’s cold and snowing outside.

Hiking Photos!

Strange to think it’s already been nearly three weeks since Preston, Michael (with Seppo) and I went on a wee hike that turned into an all day hike. The Blue Ridge Parkway was closed so we hiked out from the junction with Hwy. 215. We didn’t plan on going too terribly far … but we did. Past the Devil’s Courthouse, out to the junction with the road to the Black Balsam Wilderness, then on to Sam’s Knob, down to Flat Laurel Creek and back out to the Parkway and on back to the car. We started out about 10:30 in the morning and got back to the car at 7:00 just as it was getting dark. It was pretty awesome to see dusk descend while walking down the middle of the Parkway. Seppo gets big points for hanging with all all day. Jump inside for some more pictures. Continue reading “Hiking Photos!” →

Back At It

Wow …

Last week was quite possibly the most stressful week EVER.

Work (for some reason) was totally crazy with lots of “Now, Now, Now” projects. A wee family crisis dropped in to my lap and that stressed me out completely. Plus, “Rabbit Hole” was in rehearsal every night and wasn’t looking so good early in the week.

But everything worked out on all fronts and I was feeling much calmer by Saturday.

So … my next post will definitely be those hiking pics I promised.

Hey blog …

This is another letter to you.

I have been neglecting you lately. And it’s not like there hasn’t been anything to write about. Some things I have put down in writing … but most I have not.

Am I lazy? Yeah.
Suffering from the Winter Blahs. Yeah.

Like … I haven’t posted pictures from that hike I went on with PT and MGW last weekend. I need to do that. I also haven’t posted the pictures of an art print that I have been working on. I need to do that too. Plus, I haven’t even mentioned that I am directing David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer Prize winning play “Rabbit Hole” in the Studio space at HART. We been rehearsing for a few weeks and open this coming Friday. Nor have I mentioned that I have been cast as Drake (the father duck) in the musical “Honk!” Plus I have been catching up on BSG via Netflix and staying current with “Lost” via the internet. And I have a few home improvement projects I want to get cranking on.

So, there is the update.

I promise to be better!

SNOW!!!

Finally … at the beginning of March … we get some descent snow fall here in the mountains. Well, descent for the way things have been going over the past ten years. It started about 11:00 this morning and has been pretty steady all day. It makes me think what it would have been like to live here in the winter back in pioneer days. It’s so quiet outside now. I love it!
