Back in the Flathead with the L family
I'm back in the beautiful Flathead Valley and have already had the opportunity to take some photos. It is amazing how fast kids grow - I was able to photograph little Miss M when she was brand new to this world and now she walks like a pro! Here is a quick look at a few shots from yesterday:

This time next week . . .
I will be snugglin' with my favorite puppy dog!
As I was driving home from rehearsal tonight I had my radio station tuned to K-JAZZ 88.1 and was "Jammin' with Bubba." It is a station I have started to like quite a lot especially when there is traffic. For some reason the jazz music keeps my head from exploding when all I can see are red tail lights. Tonight Bubba turned on his microphone and said "It's 59 degrees here in Long Beach. BRRRRRRRRRR! Where is my heater!" ........ seriously. 59 degrees and he's shakin' in his boots - which people have started to wear along with stocking caps, snow parkas, gloves, and of course fuzzy scarves. I wore shorts and a t-shirt today and had my window rolled down on the way home. We also have yet to turn the heat on in our apartment.

33 Years
I started working today on A Christmas Carol at SCR, unofficially that is - my contract doesn't actually start until next Tuesday but I've got extra time on my hands so I let them know I was available if need be.
I met our director, John-David Keller, who is quite a nice man and happens to have been the director of the recurring production for the last 33 years. He and a few others, including the man who plays Scrooge, the costume designer and lighting designers have worked with the show since its debut at SCR in 1978. Can you imagine doing the same show for 33 years? It sounds like the schedule is pretty much the same each year. The director and assistant director and choreographer starts working with the child actors the first week of November. We learned one dance today and watched part of the Muppets Christmas Carol. We have two casts of young ones, 8 kids a piece, that switch between performances. They range in age from 8-17 and I know all of their names after 2 hours. The adult actors start the second week of November and rehearse up until right before Thanksgving where they get maybe 2 days off and then come back a go into previews. They preform the show every day except Mondays and twice on Saturdays and Sundays with a few extra school matinees thrown in for good measure for a total somewhere around 35(?) performances each year. If you do the math Hal Landon Jr. has stepped on stage as Ebenezer Scrooge some 1,155 times. That is quite impressive if I do say so myself.
In other news I will be home in 21 days!
