The whole thing ropes around hope. HO - PE.



Well, we finished our run of "The Laramie Project" and it was extremely well received.  It was a powerful production that evoked a range of emotions as it spoke to the difference between tolerance and acceptance.  I found the production emotionally draining and after each rehearsal and show I just felt exhausted.  At the same time, it felt good to be a part of this production.  It was an ensemble show where every actor had some great moments to shine. 

It is nice to have my weekends back now that the production is over.  Looking forward to some down time and a quiet Christmas this year.

As part of a clean-up effort, I am going through my gmail account and deleting a lot of  unnecessary old emails.  I set up the account in 2004 and I have now sifted through 2004-2010.  It is an amazing journey to look back over the years to see kids emails and pictures, key trips and adventures that we took over the years.  It is very cathartic and humbling to realize all of the things we have accomplished over the years.  It has been great re-living conversations and emails with mom, and Winston as they are no longer here. 

I am hoping to set up a few new years resolutions this year as January is just around the corner.  I am hoping to play guitar more regularly, as well as curbing the alcohol for January.  I also want to try to build up to running again.  Something simple.  Even just a 5k would be a great start.
