Love Connection

Hey Kids!

Thanks to some persistence and a crack IT team, I found a way to hook up from my hotel, so now I can post as often as I want. It's dial-up, but who cares???

Okay, Sunday, June 20. Plays in the morning, plays in the evening... ain't we got fun? More comments on the play, seeing the plays of new friends and acquaintances. Marveling at the scenery. We were discussing at dinner how over used the term "awesome" is in every day life, because we are now surrounded by truly AWESOME scenery and the word seems ordinary. I'm literally looking at a mountain right outside my room which still has pockets of snow and ice. Valdez is experiencing a heat wave right now, it's 78. I said to someone, why don't they turn on the air conditioning and then realized the stupidity of my statement... they don't have air conditioning in Alaska! :)

First sightings of Mr. Albee (Ed, to us. :)) the wonderful actress Marian Seldes, and Lloyd Richards, probably the greatest director ever, and The Man, Tony Kushner, at the play Sunday night. We sat through a play that, well... I personally didn't buy the set up and so that made the inconsistancies more noticeable. The end was strong, though, so I'm not sure how I felt about it. I'm curious what they thought.

On to another play and reception tonight, but I can post when I come back. Yippy!!
