Exit Stage Left

As one of my "devoted" readers pointed out I have been a bit "relaxed" in my posting this week, but for good reason. As happens in the autumn of every year we hit this point at work where it becomes absolutely apparent that the summer is over and the season has begun. We hit that point on Thursday evening and there's no turning back. I don't like writing about work so much, because I think it's boring and because it's not good for me to dwell on it all the time. That is something with which having this blog has really helped me: thinking about things outside of work and focusing on my "real" life rather than just my work life. But, this was the kind of week where work became almost all encompassing, leaving little time to think about much else.

Thursday we had first preview for "Amadeus" and first performance of "The Lion King" as well as the first wine & theatre of the new season and the opening night of "Living Out." In addition to all that there were some noxious vapors in the Galleria theatre from a neighboring business's attempt at sealing a new floor which caused us to cancel that evening's performance (leading to some unhappy patrons, as you might imagine). It was one of those rare evenings where the weather was beautiful and every venue was filled with people, like the complex had been brought back to life. In spite of the disgruntled patrons we managed to get through the night with little incident. Friday brought two more special events, all leading up to the opening night and party for "The Lion King" last night (yep, I sure was up until 4 am).

Long story short: it's been a busy week, leaving little time for laundry, cleaning, sleeping, eating well or posting on the blog. So, forgive me and here's to hoping that this week will be a little more sane. I'm not counting on it...you probably shouldn't either.
