Kitchen photos at last
My beloved just sent me a photo of the completed kitchen floor. The fumes are still so bad that he is staying out rather than chancing brain cells at home. After I get home I have to put the new baseboards on the wall and finish painting the area that I couldn’t reach behind the

Atlanta
I arrived in Atlanta at 6:30. I was supposed to get here at 2:10. Hm. What does one sacrifice to the travel gods? A chicken? In anycase, I arrived at the UNIMA gathering safely. We all had a good time, and then Kuang Yu and I drove up to my parents house in Chattanooga. I’m
Washington Dulles Airport
Is anyone surprised that I missed my connection to Atlanta? For those stuck in DC, it is worth noting that Concourse B has lots of natural light and high ceilings. Concourse G, which contains my gate, is a large box of a room, which has the sole redeeming feature of being a shelter from the

JFK airport
The ride from NYC to JFK airport on the subway always surprises me by how long it takes. I always think I’ve given myself plenty of time and it always takes longer. I’m here with plenty of time to sit and play on my laptop, but only because there were no lines once I got
Loooong day
Emily and I worked through the day and finished shortly before 11:00pm. I’m sitting in Ollie’s Noodle and Grill House across from Columbia University having a heaping dish of vegetables and noodles. Tomorrow, I go to Atlanta and switch gears to UNIMA. I’m beat, but Emily and I hashed out eleven of our twelve scenes
Snow
Emily and I had a great meeting with Chris Parks today. The snow was swirling outside as we talked about Arabian Nights. I’m very sleepy from my delayed flight but still think we did good work.
NYC arrival
Well, I’ve arrived in New York. I was supposed to get here at 11:02 pm. The time now? 3:40 am… To be fair, I got here about an hour ago, but still. Where did this travel karma come from? I used to have such good luck travelling. I’m convinced that I picked up Rob’s bad
Look at that!
I went to breakfast with Jodi and Sam and when I returned my kitchen floor looked like this! Wow. I was not expecting them to move so fast. By the way, I’m at the Portland Airport now.
The floor begins
Because my life is never simple, today is also the day the floor work begins. I won’t be here to show you a blow by blow, but I can at least show you the before image.
To New York
For those of you keeping score… I’m going to New York today to work on Arabian Nights for McCarter Theater. Key players will be Emily DeCola and Chris Parks. Stay tuned for details. Coming up next– On Friday, our intrepid adventurer goes to Atlanta.
Furniture and Haircut
Last night Rob and I emptied our kitchen of furniture in preparation for the refinishing. I am surprised by how large the room is; if only there were fewer doors and windows we could have a lot of storage space in there. I got up this morning and took the bus down to have may

Little Shop of Horrors
I have just landed a dream job. Ector Theater in Odessa, TX is contracting me to build, and design, a brand-new set of Little Shop puppets. I won’t quote numbers here, because that would be rude, but it is enough to hire a shop space and employee stitchers, mold-makers, and builders to make a really

House of Flying Daggers
Rob and I went to see House of Flying Daggers last night. It is not as good as Hero but still well worth seeing. Visually stunning.

Icestorm 2005!
Well, that’s the way the news stations here would characterize the weather outside. We’ve had freezing rain and there’s a sheet of ice on the street. No pipes froze. The trees are not covered in tubes of ice, so it’s fairly mild as icestorms go. Rob was mean and let Marlowe outside. He came back
