I darkened my hair for the last show I was in. It took a little while for it to darken enough to be noticeable. At first, I was afraid it wouldn’t get dark enough in time for the show. But now the show has been over for a couple of weeks, I fear it won’t…
I worried about the outcome for November. It was a “show” month. The Game’s Afoot opened. Which meant going out after a performance. Not every time, but often enough. And that meant beer and food. Late at night. There were also cookies and baked goods at the show. Tempting me. Taunting me. And I gave…
Yesterday, our choir sang for a senior’s residence again. We were back at Caroline Place Retirement Residence for a second time. We played all the songs that we’ll be singing in our Sleighing It concert, instead of only a selection. I’m still working on my lyrics to get “off book”, so I was holding onto…
I only run about three times a week. But the distance adds up. I’m taking my new running shoes out for their inaugural run. You can see the pristine soles of the new shoes. I bought my old sneakers in January. They are a little past due retirement. I’ve racked up 677.6 kilometers (421 miles)…
It’s Friday night and for the first time in a few weeks, I don’t have to get ready for a performance. I don’t have to review my lines. I don’t have to make the trip to Grimsby to get ready for The Game’s Afoot. I also don’t have time to really miss those things, either!…
They say we shouldn’t “sweat the small stuff”. And it’s true. When it comes to worrying about things that don’t matter. In the big picture of our lives. You’re worrying about something? Will it matter in a month? In a year? In five years? If not, don’t worry about it. Worrying about small things can…
I was intending to submit something to the Hamilton Fringe Playwriting Contest. I had missed the deadline, but it got extended a week. I found an older project that had fizzled out, but I thought I could submit it with a little tweaking. You’d think I would have taken full advantage of the extra time…
The lottery results for the Montreal Fringe are in! And we were not successful. Wah! It was a record year for submissions to the Montreal Fringe and I’m happy for them. But it worked against us. We are on the waiting list again. This time, we aren’t close to the front of the line. We…
Way back in August, I applied for the Montreal Fringe. I was hoping to get one of their early bird slots. But I was not successful. It’s been a long wait but finally the big day is here. Tonight, the Montreal Fringe will have their official draw, and I’ll find out if we got in…
We all know the saying that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. But maybe we’ve been focusing on the wrong fruit. I haven’t mentioned any tidbits offered from the Arnold Schwarzenegger newsletter lately. And the other day something in it caught my eye. A study was conducted measuring the effects of eating a…
