I'm still figuring out this latest el cheapo digital camera. It's actually a Philips, which kind of cracks me up.
I have been living a week of synchronicity (isn't that supposedly a sign of spiritual development). To wit:
A week ago, on a total lark, I bought a movie called "What the Bleep Do we Know, Down the Rabbit Hole," because Gabe is interested in string theory and quantum physics and this film seemed to be about that, despite it starring Marlee Matlin.
So's anyway, we fire it up and lo and behold it was filmed in Portland, plus it has several featured appearances by actors with whom I've worked, notably Michele Mariana, whom I've music directed for many a time, who is playing a character named....Betsy. Oy.
Then in my work life I am getting to know the new Rector at the church I MD for, who is from SLC, which some of you know I come from. She was Chaplain at the parochial school I attended for many years, and she also tended to make friends with theater people, so it turns out her close circle either knows me or knows of me. I've had a slew of emails today from SLC people and it's kind of been like old home week. One of the Rector's friends was good friends with one of SLC's first Equity actresses who was my next door neighbor for most of my childhood and who was, in a very real sense, my personal Auntie Mame.
