Bad, bad blogger....

OK, so I've been busy. Excuses, excuses. I was working in Milwaukee (yes, I had internet access, so really not a good excuse) and then I came home and went IMMEDIATELY on a vacation. Todd and I took my parents' RV and drove across the country to Yellowstone and then down into all the canyons of Utah. It was really a great trip. But we spent A LOT of money on gas..... 6000 miles at somewhere between 6 and 8 miles per gallon..... you do the math.

OK, so I'm having some trouble with posting the photos from the vacation. Hmmm. Anyway, we took about 2000 pictures (we each had a digital camera along, so there are lots of duplicates). I was going to post about 6 of them, but the website is not cooperating. Ah well. I guess that means if you want to see them you'll have to come visit me in Pittsburgh (evil grin)....

So here's what's going on with me right now: I'm working at Carnegie Mellon University for 6 weeks teaching stage management in a pre-college program for high school seniors-to-be. It's kinda fun. Tonight I'm teaching a workshop on Theatrical Unions, which I was going to gear toward the technical students, but apparently the kids who signed up are overwhelmingly actors, so I guess I'll be concentrating more on Actor's Equity Association. Guess I learned about the others for nothing.

Other than that, I'm just lounging around for the summer, which hopefully means I can make some actual progress with circus stories. Next in line is Wilkes Barre, PA, I think. Maybe I can also make progress with my garden (in which I lost all but 1 pepper plant), books I want to read, and some other projects I'm working on.

BTW - KT - Todd and I are going to be in NYC for about 5 days or so in August, about the 15th-20th. I'd love to get together if you're back from the Habitat from Humanity thing by then! (Maybe if I read your blog I'll find out if you'll be back, so I think that's the next thing on today's to-do list.....)
