Sorry 'bout that

To the 3 people who called, the 2 who emailed, and the one who took the time to really address "the list", "Thanks and I'm sorry."  I worried way too many people with this rant (see blog title) for it to be anything but destructive.  I had enough people telling me how disappointed they were with the show that I forgot about all those who enjoyed it.  90% of the problems originated from me drawing them to me.  I guess that doesn't get communicated very well in a rant.

I will direct again...someday...when the right show presents itself and I am no longer in pain.  Pain makes me grouchy and negative.  To those directing now, break a leg.  I love working with them.  Jim's enthusiasm and intensity. Gerry's creativity and calm and sly wit. Sandy's love of theater, dynamic casting, and personality.  I love Paula's smile and talent and sense of humor and her husband.  I love Carol's calm and natural acting.  I love John M being John M.  Dana is a dynamo with an amazing wife and son.  Roy works harder than almost anybody I know.  And the list goes on.

I said to someone today:  "I used up all my good karma when I got Kathy."  I meant it, but it's not true.  My karma includes the lessons I learn whenever I do a show, either acting, directing, or just helping out.  And any opportunity to learn those lessons is a blessing.  So don't worry.  Be happy.  Si jambo.
