On the Fourteenth Day of Advent: Opening A Christmas Carol in Bastrop

I opened A Christmas Carol at Bastrop Opera House last night to a small but generous audience. They were involved and engaged, and genuinely seemed affected by it. I took two bows and think I could've taken three. It was thrilling to tell the tale on that old stage in that old, old theatre. I felt as if I were channeling Charles Dickens himself! I'm honored and grateful to have such a chance. Three more performances to go!

Dear Blog Friend

My mum (in England) and I (wherever I happened to be living) used to write each other every week...snail-mail letters, of course. When we both got computers and email became popular, we wrote every day...about everything, from the weather to what our neighbors were doing, from the political situation to popular shows on the telly. When she died, not only did I miss my lovely mum, I missed our regular written conversations; and I lost my daily writing fix. Now I admit the messages were sometimes ridiculously banal but they were often hilarious and always fun to receive. So to start with at least, I'm going to imagine my blog is a note to my mum in the hope that you'll like reading it as much I liked reading her notes to me.
