I feel good.

Sunshiny day, hard to believe it's lower than fifty. After tomorrow we are supposed to be in full spring. Fascinating day, this morning I was a judge for one writing competition, this evening for a completely different playwriting competition. Dinnertime run, and then I will be out of here. I enjoy this life.

* Suprisingly decent running song. Most excellent bpm, even better when the record gets to the good bit.

No time to worry 'cause we're on the road again.

The tour opened last night to a great house at The Alcazar. I have to say, this is the lightest, easiest to manage load-out I have had since the Chekhov tour which features four pieces of furniture and a curtain.

Tonight we will be at Lorain County Community College in the Stocker Arts Center, Studio Theatre at 7:30 PM. Free and open to the public, please join us.

Last night I wrote:

A peaceful late night, at home. Children abed and wife as well. Leftover soup, with crackers and cheese, visiting friends on Facebook. To bed, next to loving wife, who snores intermittently. Reading now, applying hemp lotion to hard, cracked fingertips. Silent, but for the shifting of cats, and her breath. 11:35 PM. Quiet, peaceful. Then rest.

In spite of how warm I feel by the end of these sub-freezing runs, I keep them short. No reason to risk injury nor illness. This is a shame because 1982 was the greatest year in the history of recorded music.
