Deb and I have been married for almost 36 years. We share the same opinions about many things. But we don’t think alike. This amazes me. We play some word games like Wordle, Connections, and Strands. They are individual games we play on our phones. But we share our results. And it’s clear that our…
Vocal Point Choir’s Spring concert is almost here! Two shows. Sixties theme. Four-part harmony. It’s going to be great! If you are going to be in Hamilton (Ontario) on May 31 or June 1, you should get tickets to Feeling Good – A Sixties Snapshot. The music is beautiful. Music from rock, pop, folk, and…
Our show Burn opens in a week and a half. Ten days. Five more rehearsals. There are still a couple of bumps, but the production is in good shape. I’m not being overconfident. But I’m feeling some confidence because we’ve put in the work. All of us have put in the work. And we’ll continue…
The anticipation is over. The results are in. Theatre Burlington didn’t win everything that they were nominated for. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf had ten award nominations. They came away with four awards. Deb won Outstanding Direction by First Time Director. Kelly won Outstanding Performance in a Major Role. The show won Outstanding Ensemble Work.…
Tonight’s a big night for Deb. It’s the WODL Gala. Western Ontario Drama League. It’s award night for the best community theatre productions in western Ontario. Certain shows during the Community Theatre season are put in “festival”. So, they get adjudicated. The show that Deb directed, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, is up for ten…
One of the recommendations from Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way is to take a couple of “Artist’s Walks” a week. An Artist’s Walk is going for a 20-minute walk or more. With no specific purpose. It’s to wander. And think. And see. I don’t always get in an Artist’s Walk. But this week I did.…
The month is half over. And if things continue to go the way they are heading, it should be a good month. Weight-wise, that is. I’m doing what I was doing last month. Intermittent Fasting until 5pm on weekdays. And eating normally on weekends. And I’m trying to get to bed on time. There’s never…
My daughter just got a car. A used car. A friend of ours was selling their car. And Tara will need one for work. The timing was good. We’ve been juggling 2 cars with 3 people. Most of the time it’s fine. But it was inconvenient every now and then. Now, she will have real…
Number three on my list of thirty things to do in the next five years is to see the Northern Lights. The Aurora Borealis. I thought my chances were pretty good when we went to northern British Columbia. To visit my son and his girlfriend. But we didn’t see the northern lights. I was disappointed.…
On Mother’s Day, I usually write about my wife. The mother of my children. I don’t often write about my mother. Bernadette Kelly was a great mom. I called her Mommy. It felt weird to call her “mom”, though. Too short. She was always “mommy”. My earliest memory of her is when I’m about four…
