Happy Tuesday to you all! Yesterday was my birthday, and it was great! Got to sleep in a little, my youngest brought me Cap’n Crunch for breakfast, I played a little XBox, had my parents out to lunch, and cleaned the carpets. A good day and lots of fun to be with my family. I love my family so much. They are super fantastic, and I had such a fun time talking and laughing with them. And this week, every night is busy. So it was a great way to spend a birthday/holiday.
“Gravestoned” rehearsals start in earnest tonight. I’m excited and anxious all at the same time. It’ll be fun. Like I’ve said before, I have a great cast. They are all so wonderful. Opera is proceeding this week, as well, and it’s Boheme! What more can you ask for! I don’t like being away from home every night of the week, but I do enjoy the small chances to have a great time.
Sorcerer went fantastically this past weekend. I was not that familiar with the show previously, but I find that with each new Gilbert & Sullivan show that I learn, I have a new friend. They did amazing things with words and music. And they are such fun shows. Next year is going to Iolanthe, another show that I am not too familiar with. Here’s hoping I get to sing “The Nightmare Song.” It is one of the greatest patter songs in the canon.
This weekend was bad for my diet, but it was not a deal breaker. I just need to be careful especially for the next few weeks. The weather is getting cooler, so exercise will be better and easier that it has been. I have seen some small results from my work and efforts, so I am even further encouraged that I am on the right track. This is not going to be easy, and I’ve got a long journey ahead. This is going to take many long months. But I can do this and I will succeed. I will be a happier, healthier me, and I will be the kind of father and husband that can take my kids hiking, camping, and play baseball and soccer.
