One down...

This is the summer of 3 camps, the return of teaching at UC Davis and doing The Real Thing with Livermore Shakespeare. It's not even 11pm and I am tired. Not only that but I took a nap today. I am going to climb into bed and start this craziness up again tomorrow.

Today was the last day of the Holy Names camp for me through Cal Shakes. I was with the older group and for the most part it was truly satisfying. The kids as a whole are lazy and it just drives me crazy. However, I may have to take some of the responsibility and add things that are more engaging. Ah, I miss working with college kids.

Rehearsal today was equally satisfying. Or perhaps a little more so. Now that I am no longer struggling with lines (and didn't get a single line note) I found a whole mess of fun. It's amazing how much the unsuredness of lines really held me back. I am super excited to see how things progress and how the technical elements bring us to the next level.

In the meantime, here's a bit of gratitude:
1. employment
2. kind and genuine people
3. a clean and reliable automobile
4. leftovers
5. kitties on the couch next to me
