Apology

I have been neglecting you because of "South Pacific."
Rehearsals for the ACLOA production - I hate saying MTS - generally run from 7 to 10 PM at the Highland Theater complex.
By the time I get home it's 10:30, it's 11 by the time I unwind and 11:30 before I hit the sack. That is way past my bedtime and though I try to compensate by sleeping later in the morning, it doesn't quite work.
So a little bit tired and a little groggy in the AM, I do not rush to the computer to think out loud here.
But this shall pass.
"South Pacific" opens Friday, Feb. 13, plays that weekend and two more. Then I will be a civilian again.
PS If you remember the music, you know it's lovely. The principals have good voices, too. As for the play, it's soft and gentle and hopeful, as those perilous WWII times now seem to have been.
I recommend it.
Meanwhile..apologies.
