It has been what seems like an eternity since I last posted. Lots of things have happened. “The Tempest” is nearing opening night (Friday, July 15, 2011!! Get your tickets here!) And here’s a postcard for you all to see:
And contrary to my kids, that is Ariel, not Caliban. Also, you can get $3 off your tickets with the promo code “Ariel.” This is one great show. The cast is first-rate, a great director, and lots of fun special effects, sets and costumes. Great fun! And as I’ve said, you will have the opportunity of either seeing me redefine the role of Prospero, or fall flat on my face (possibly both) so either way, ENTERTAINMENT AT IT’S FINEST!
Life and stress has kept me from really doing anything about diet and exercise. I haven’t really put any more weight on, thank goodness, but I haven’t lost any, either. My wife has lost 10 pounds, and that is great… for her. Just not so great for me. I’m not jealous, I just get discouraged. I know the benefit of activity and exercise, I just don’t motivate myself to action on it. I hate being this size. Especially when I’m acting. It sucks to be huge.
I read an article stating that water, being essential to fat metabolism, is especially needed by overweight people. Somehow, while I don’t doubt the truth of that, I don’t think that I’m going to wash away my fat. But it’s worth a try, right? So, today I start drinking my way to better health. Sounds like it should be more fun put that way. Then you remember it’s just water.
This last weekend I got to spend most of my Saturday fixing a truck. I got to change the alternator and swap out a couple of radiator hoses. I still have grease in some of my creases. It was a good day, but long and hot, and a little frustrating. When one thing would be fixed something else cropped up. But I did most of the work, with amazing supervision from my Father. He is fantastic. I want to be just like him when I grow up.
Ok, so not as much news as I thought. When your life is boring, not much happens. Get tickets to “The Tempest.” You won’t regret it.

I can understand when you say you have acting while heavy. My own weight has been keeping me off stage for the past two years. Not because directors have discriminated against me, in fact Beth has made it clear she wanted me in the Tempest, but because I am far too self conscious about it. I hate sweating non-stop under the lights. I especially hate seeing myself in photos after the show closes and being somehow shocked to see fat Robert instead of the stud I still somehow fool myself into thinking I sill am. So I commend you for still pursuing your acting ambitions. I am glad you are onstage playing Prospero because (especially after seeing you a few times rehearsing) there is no one else I'd rather have playing Prospero and representing ATG as you do. Thank you for playing with us again Tony. You are one of the greats in my book.
