I know I have had ice cream at the Farmers Market though I can't tell you where I purchased it.

Well, if you read Vegas Can Be Murder, the answer might just be within.

I tried hard to get us out by six, but it was seven. Still, not bad and an hour of that was lunch. The problem was that the lighting person readjusted all the front lights, which meant we had to rewrite everything we'd done previously (half of act one). So, had we not had to do that, I think we would have been out by six. Still, we got the show written and I think it will work fine. They still have to program two specials tomorrow and a probe.

I blocked the curtain call, keep it very simple.

I start with half the ensemble - one of my goals was to make every member of the ensemble have things to make them shine - so the first group is five people and each get a quickie separate bow, just stepping forward, bowing and back in line. Same thing with the second group, then a group of four, then two, then our two leads. I may change my mind - right now, the two leads come on together and he bows first and she bows last - but I just adore the lead gal and so I may give each of them a separate entrance.

The day began with a run-through that was pretty smooth, actually, then I spent ninety minutes working on scenes and acting stuff.

Then we had lunch.

I only had a bite of salad and a tiny piece of pepperoni pizza.

Then we began the cue to cue at three - it took about forty-five minutes to redo the stuff we'd done, then we did the rest of act one - it takes a while to actually write the cues as a bunch of scenes have light shifts. Then we went right on to act two.

Still to come, two specials and a strobe - Two Specials and a Strobe - that's the title of my next novel.

I wanted a bit more time tonight, but alas...

I'll sit on the couch like so much fish and just surf channels for a bit.

I do have to get to bed at a reasonable hour.

On the way to dance tonight, I witnessed a horrific accident. I think the car struck a car in front of him. What I saw was the car slamming into the cement barrier in the center of the highway. It then moved across all five lanes where it crashed into the cement barrier on the right, ran up the barrier, then landed right side up but in a 180 directional change, so it was facing oncoming traffic. The windshield exploded, showering glass everywhere. There was no place to pull over, but we called 911 and reported it. The person on the phone didn’t seem to understand the words I was saying, so I had to say everything three times. And then she asked if the driver need EMS. Well, duh.
