Finally, I’m getting back on track. The pendulum is swinging the other way. My average weight went down to 199.7lbs. It’s only 0.8lbs less than last month. But it’s in the right direction. Highest weight was 205.2lbs and lowest weight was 195lbs. Getting enough sleep and not snacking late at night really helps. And I…
The Around the Bay is done. Time to rest? Nope. The next countdown is ticking away. Things I Know to be True opens in 24 days! That’s just over three weeks away. And I’m working on those lines. They’re coming, but not fast enough. It’s going to be a great show. After that, the Vocal…
Shortly after my birthday, I came up with three priorities for the year. And for March, I looked at that list every day. To make sure that those priorities stayed top of mind. I tried to find some step every day to move forward on those goals. I plan to do the same in April.…
The Around the Bay Road Race was much different this year, compared to last year. Last year, it was sunny and clear. Cool, but not cold. This year, it was wet. And a little chilly. It could have been worse. We didn’t get the freezing rain that was forecasted. But my shoes and socks got…
It’s the night before the big race. 30 kilometers. Or 18.64 miles. I haven’t trained as much as I planned, but I trained more than last year. I’m going to bed early. I’ve got my running equipment ready. I’ve got my mental state prepared. Tara and Dan will be running the race as well. We’ll…
It’s that time again. The lead up to the elections in Canada. For the most part, we’re all going to vote the way we usually vote. We’ve already decided because our social media feeds give us more of what we want: Our opinion. And the people on “the other side” aren’t going to convince me…
One of the things I love about theatre is how egalitarian it is. Especially with the actors. It doesn’t matter how old or young you are. We’re all equals working together to put on the show. We’re all peers. There are very few situations where people can work side by side. People with different levels…
I’ve been waffling for months to get started on another playwriting project. And I decided to revisit one of my old plays: Minced. Minced is a one act play with two characters. I always thought it could be expanded into a longer piece. And taking a page from Great By Choice, I can consider it…
The funny thing about deadlines is that you can be aware of them. But think they are far off. Kind of like those mirrors that say “Things are closer than they appear”. We’re supposed to be off book (know all our lines) by Sunday. In five days. But deadlines like that are kind of “soft”…
Every now and then, Dodger will come up and visit me in the attic. That’s where my office is. I’ll hear the tell-tale nails clicking on the steps as he comes up the stairs. Sometimes he wants attention. Sometimes I think he’s just checking in on me. He’ll saunter over, wagging his tail. I’ll give…
