A clarification on Snow
I was on set today doing live hands for the mayor and shooting the breeze with Toti (one of our puppet wranglers) between shots. He asked if it snowed a lot in Portland. I said “no”. He said, “So it’s about like here, only once a month or so.” I looked at him in complete

A late call.
I didn’t get called in to work till 3:30 today. This gave me a little time to go Christmas shopping and I think I’m actually finished. This seems rather astounding to me. I also finally went into an antique shop that I’ve been carefully avoiding because it looked too good. I knew I would be
Christmas Brunch
We went to Dana and Mark’s Read for a Christmas Brunch to exchange Secret Santa gifts. You might recall that we exchanged Secret Santa names at Thanksgiving. I drew Þor’s name and gave him a copy of The Marionette Sourcebook by Luman Coad. It’s a really great resource and he seemed very pleased. Sarah drew
Working on Saturday
We’re only in for three hours today. They had to wrap one of the cast members last night before we finished the shots we needed to do, so we all agreed to come in for a quick session this morning. It’s getting down to the wire here.

Christmas photos.
Þor brought in the photos he took of my Christmas party. We’ll start with a picture of Steve, seriously underdressed, but then he wasn’t expecting a black tie gathering. That’s Mark Reed next to him.

Lighting Away from Home – Chanukah with Aish
David, the puppeteer who plays the mayor, is Jewish and his wife sent him a menorah so he could celebrate Hanukah here. I was looking for the prayers for him (he’d forgotten one) and stumbled upon Lighting this page. I thought David was in trouble, at first, because he’s been lighting the candles at work,

Weather report
The weather has been really blustery and rangeing from rain to snow. Today I can see blue sky if I look straight up, but the clouds are moving so quickly that I don’t know how long it will last.
Flowers
I still don’t have pictures of the people, but this is one of the flower arrangements that I made for my Christmas party.
Yogagony
I went to Yoga this morning for the first time in two weeks. Agony. I mean, it’s only a sort of mild pain from stretching muscles that don’t believe they should move farther than they do. But it’s good for me, builds character.
Steve is gone
Well, Steve has headed back to London. Quite by chance, Andrew is on the same flight back. In case you wonder why it has taken me till Monday to update my weblog, it’s simply because Steve needed to be on my computer at every spare moment to check basketball scores…hmm.
