On the apparent largeness of Idahoans

Big babies, big butts, big rocking chairs.

Went to see 'Moonrise Kingdom' last night. One of the sweetest, funniest movies I've seen in a while. You will love the two lead kids. So adult in such a kid way.

We did a little singing yesterday

Did one scene in front of a group that were using the theatre to honor themselves for something.  Then went out to a place called Light on the Mountains and did a medley of tunes from the show plus other stuff.  This is Rachel singing. I sang this song.  A couple of keys lower, but it went fine with RL and Rachel providing back-up. Now I have 50-year-old groupies, I'm told.

Reminds me of your office view, Dad

Out my bedroom window. Kinda makes me think I'm in your all's basement. Comforting. I like being down here cause it's cooler. It doesn't really get that hot...nobody's home has air-conditioning here. But still too hot for me. Glad I'm not in DC right now.  108 heat index or something like that? Ugh...

Ok, Mom, any ideas?

While searching our kitchen for a simple pair of tongs (which we never found) we came across this device. Can't figure out what the hell it is.

View out my living room

This is where I sit and try to learn harmony in the morning before I go off to rehearsal in the afternoon and forget said harmonies. Happy Fathers Day, Pop!

Somehow....

...all the Birds successfully conspired to deliver unto me a cheery balloon bouquet...and ON my birthday. And I never gave anyone my address. Now they're back at da joint with all my cards. It made me feel all glowy and nice.

How I spent my birthday

Pretty much in this position for the last 5 hours. One nice thing about being Equity: mandated breaks. Which I needed. We're at altitude and I'm singing like a fish out of water. Although my new elderly status may have something to do with it. Damn this encroaching decrepitude!

Yay me! Still not dead!

I brought my cards with me so's to feel homier. (sniff)

Made it to Idaho!

Here I am standing in front of the Liberty Theater on Main St., Hailey, ID.  The second picture shows what I'm looking at standing there.  It's ridiculously beautiful here. Except there are no currywursts to be found. Damn you, Erica, for creating this unnatural lust for curried catsup and sausages!

Homer Building, NW DC

I find it difficult to be comfortable with some guys bronzed junk hanging over me the whole show. On the other hand, this is my last Steps show until August.  Wheee!

Woodcliff Hotel, Rochester, NY

I thought this was a nice hotel until I noticed my shower was giving me the finger.

I forgot to stick these two up!

Great, both of 'em.

Hunter, NY

"There's not room enough in the Catskills for the two of us. So I'm leaving." To drive to Rochester. For five hours.
