Day 1464: Chapter one done!

Writing was torturous today.  I started early and struggled all morning.  There was little left to do, but I just couldn't get it right.  It always helps to take a break, have a bite to eat and get some fresh air.  After a lovely long walk on icy paths, the crisp air cleared my head.  I knocked it out in forty-five minutes.

A new musical season is underway!  The first Aida rehearsal was held tonight and the staff took care of lots of routine details that are required.  It's fun to see the the excitement of new cast members, especially the eager freshmen.  Graciela has the starring role of Aida and she'll be sensational.  With this cast and an incredible crew, we have a great shot at winning the Kenney Award.

If I have a voice in the morning, I'll be shocked. When I was teaching, I got laryngitis every November and often in March. Talking all day, I couldn't save my voice, but now I go for many hours without speaking at all.
