Twenty-nine
My birthday present for this year was that Militant Language: A play with sand got up and running without killing me. The sand works, and I think the show is a great success visually.
Opening night went very well, and at midnight the Know Theatre gave me a birthday card. Also free drinks.
Today I spent the morning doing laundry, the afternoon at the show, to check on a couple of cues that I changed. Also, a reviewer was there today, and I like being able to see the show at the same time as reviewers... to put what they've written into proper context.
Just before the show Sara Vaught and her husband John drove by with a birthday cupcake for me... they pulled to the side of the road, used a lighter for the candle and passed it to me through the open door.
After the show I took myself out to a Cincinnati style birthday dinner on Ludlow: Skyline and Graeters. Ate black raspberry chip ice cream from a waffle cone while watching the sunset through Burnett woods.
Now I'm trying to get done a light plot for Once on this Island at NKU...
There's always another show.
Even though it seems I'm perpetually exhausted, I'm happy and doing work that I love.
And now I'm the titular age from one of my favorite Gin Blossoms songs:
"Time won't stand by forever if I know it's true
And I've learned not to say never
Or else I'll seem the fool
Twenty-nine you'd think I'd know better
Living like a kid
When my lies may seem less than clever
Is when I fall for it
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Some rides don't have much of a finish
That's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifference
Without a second look
There's no intentions worthy of mention
If we never try
So hang your hopes on rusted-out hinges
Take 'em for a ride
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Only time will tell..."
There's no way I could have seen where I am now from where I was when I first heard that song ca. 1994.
