Well, the Slovenes fly home tomorrow, and I’m sad to see them go. We had a great outing today taking them to waterfalls and lunch at Timberline. I had great conversations with both Gregor and Sonia, who rode in my strike vehicle. It was so nice to be able to return the hospitality they showedContinue reading “Invasion over, Slovenians routed.”

Rockin out in Victoria
Friday night at VIIF. 3 great shows, and some great conversations. I can’t wait to work in the ensemble show tomorrow. I can’t wait to see Narabov play. I’ve been having a great time sharing a room with Kerry. Marilyn has been making me laugh my ass off, as is Tom. I’m getting to catchContinue reading “Rockin out in Victoria”
Suffering
I’m in the midst of a life lesson on suffering and attachments. I like to think of myself as someone who seeks to reduce the suffering in others, but I’m sorely lacking sometimes in dealing with my own suffering. I’m also recognizing that I also act to increase the suffering of others when they threatenContinue reading “Suffering”
This makes me very sad.

Back on the horse
I had a good show and rehearsal this weekend. It feels good to be back on the stage and laughing with friends. I’m still catching up with being back in Portland after so long. It was a hard landing, but it can only go up from here. It’s strange not having Nate Halloran around.
Single again
I’ll never date someone under 25 again. expatriate was an inconsiderate flake who kept telling me he loved me when he didn’t. On top of it, he asked me to give him a backrub just hours before telling me it was over……Class act. He’ll make a good politician. At least he picked me up fromContinue reading “Single again”
Beginnings and Endings
I was struck by a mix of emotions today at the BBQ that was the finish for wedding festivities for my cousin’s wedding. It struck me near the end that this could potentially be the last time I see some of my closer aunts and uncles alive because of their age and health. Meanwhile, IContinue reading “Beginnings and Endings”
Big Families
My cousin Adam is marrying his fiance Rachel today. Adam is the cousin I’d say I’m close with for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is he’s a great guy. A majority of my father’s side of the family is here. My father is one of eleven children (now 10 since theContinue reading “Big Families”
