Well, we are in Rochester with my family. Ah, going home. Tell me if this sounds familiar: "You know what you should do, you ought to do your trip like this...."
A lot of people in NYC and elsewhere have asked us what we would do if one of us got a job somewhere, and the other did not. People love conflict! Good thing that Emily and I will most likely not be up for the same role. We explain that theatre does not really work like that, that you are a jobber for one play, and then you go back to NYC or wherever you live. It WOULD be nice if there were more repertory companies in the U.S. I am approaching this trip partly to see what is out there in terms of places to live.
Right now I am at my uncle's house, changing the oil on my car, drinking coffee, eating bagels. Where are his cats? The car, by the way, is just as wonderful as ever. It will be our trusted companion and protector for the next month.
Oh, and I have to write this: she did GREAT driving stick shift. (she really did)
