A day off
Good heavens! What’s that? I didn’t work today. No boat, no computer (though I should have) no design. Just me, a book, and a little bit of writing. Rob and I slept in. Lovely day.

Repairing the websites
Other Hand’s site is up and running. WRW’s is up except for the forum, but I have to rebuild the database for that and it takes longer. I spent the day uploading files and writing while I waited. Then I went to the boat and worked. I let one of my co-workers read the draft

Impressed with Blogger
I thought all my old weblog entries were gone, but Blogger saved them. A lot of the older photos aren’t going to show because I haven’t reloaded the photos to the web, but Blogger saved all the html. I’m impressed with that.

Lightning Strikes!
On Friday, lightning struck the server that hosts my website and email. Their surge protectors failed and my site went up in smoke. It finally came back up, and I’m reloading things, but I don’t know how long it will take. Some things will just be lost. Unfortunately, Willamette Radio Workshop’s site was on the

Guests, gardens and art
Our friend Sam Paden came in from New York. He’s got a show up at Brian Marki Gallery, which is very exciting. He brought with him the catalogue to the Chanel exhibit at the Met. Rob really wanted to go to it, but couldn’t make it. I tried to go while I was there, but

What can I tell you?
Sorry, the last couple of days I worked on the boat, read and wrote. Rob came home from IPNC, which is wonderful, but due to our schedules, we still didn’t see much of each other yesterday. Tonight we went out to dinner. A date night is always a good thing.

Camp is finished
The show went off successfully. Everyone “loved it,” which is proof-positive that you can’t trust an audience member to tell you if something is good. This was not. I’m not talking about professional-quality, which I wasn’t expecting by any stretch, I’m just talking about in the realm of summer camp shows. The script sucked and
Run-through
Well, they managed to do two run-throughs of the show without any disasters. After that, I worked a very long wedding shift on the Willamette Star. I’m beat.
Finished Body Language
Finally. I finished writing Body Language at 2:00 a.m. I spent every spare moment today editing it and I’ve just posted it for critique. We’ll see what folks say. Meanwhile, back at the camp, my kids–the good ones–really focused today and finished the set. I really didn’t think it was going to happen this time.

YES! It worked
I tried my plan for dealing with Mr. Uh-uh at camp today, and it worked. I gave him a model of the fire I needed built and told him to make a large version. When he got bored with that, I also assigned him to draw the plan of the jail, and that I’d get
Unexpected Kindnesses Part Deaux
Marlene and Peter sent us the nesting glass bowls that I coveted! Their excuse is that it’s a wedding present, despite the fact that Rob and I got married over three years ago. Such kindness, and I really needed a pick-me-up after the battle with Mr. Uh-uh today. That and the increasing awareness that there’s

Finally, the other modeling shots
Sorry, I’ve been meaning to post the rest of the modeling shots since Monday. These, plus the ones I posted earlier, are apparently the ones that agencies purchased. Who knows what publications we’ll start turning up in. This is the one we sent to our folks.

Problem Child II
The other problem child is your standard, run of the mill, I-don’t-wanna but he’s making me crazy. Little Miss Snippy was much better today, which gave me more time to focus on Mr. Uh-uh. He doesn’t want to do anything, which would be fine if he would actually sit and do nothing. What he really
Unexpected Kindnesses
I had a rough day at camp today. One of the little girls is selfish, obnoxious, manipulative and I don’t like her. The kids made stick horses, which turned out really cute. At the end of class I told them to put them all at one end of the room while we joined the rest

Day One of Summer Camp
I teach Stagecraft at this summer camp every year. This year will be challenging because our enrollment is way down. Instead of two classes with fifteen students. I have one class with seven students–no wait, that’s four students. No. Ten students. I don’t know how many I have because they keep pulling students out to
