News, such as it is.
I am so busy these days, sometimes even forgetting that I have email, occasionally posting a blurb on facebook that sums up my status at the moment. I have left some of you in the dark for too long!
Spring is bursting forth here after what seemed like an interminable winter. This past Saturday saw the opening of fishing season which heavily effects my tiny creekside road. The fish and game folks dump some poor trout into the stream on Thursday and by Saturday afternoon, after MUCH tailgating, they have mostly been caught. A few persistant fishermen still haunt the stream outside my bedroom window, making me less inclined to my usual exhibitionism.
About a month and a half ago, I fulfilled an 8 year long dream and cut off all my hair! Don't shreek, don't faint! It was hugely liberating for a person so largely identified by her hair all her life. It is now such a non issue, leaving me to feel that perhaps now people are free to notice who I am more than what I look like. Of course there is then the terrible possibility that who I am is not nearly as interesting as a mop of curly red hair, but I took a chance.
In a few weeks the village where I work will be putting on the Sound of Music. I haven't been in a musical since college and am more than thrilled to be in it. I am however playing Mother Abbess, so it's not exactly a glamorous part, but the music is quite good!
In light of that, I feel I really must leave you and go learn my lines. I hope Spring is tickling everyone's long-be-stockinged toes and leaving you feeling the thrill of possibility!
