...oh, it's been so long.
Getting myself and two dogs to Cincinnati ended up taking most of my time over the last two weeks. It was an incredible (nerve wracking) adventure, and I am glad that we are here and settling in and won't have to do it again for another couple of months.
Rehearsals began for The Foreigner on Friday the 13th, with an incredibly well-cast bunch in the miraculous hands of Kenneth Albers (who was in the original cast in Milwaukee and was a friend of Larry Shue) and a capable and courteous stage management team. I feel rusty and scared, but I think that I'll pull myself together and have a wonderful time with this. It's such a funny, dear play.
There is no recycling here at the apartment, though! So...I'll have to figure out how to get around that. I've already located a paper bin along a trail that leads to the theater. The plastics and aluminum will prove more difficult. But this might fortify my Reusing abilities.
Cincinnati is a surprisingly striking and beautiful town, for the most part. Its sister city is Rome, I am told, because both are built upon seven hills. I have the fortune to be staying on one of said hills, Mt. Adams, which looks out over the Ohio river and into Kentucky, which is just a bridge-walk away. There are wonderful museums within walking distance for me to explore, and being on the edge of Eden park has made taking the dogs out a breeze.
More later. Glad to be back...

Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you're all settled in Cincy, and that it's at least a little more exciting that I had always imagined it to be. And I guess I need to check my geography because I had no idea the city was so close to Kentucky. Too cool.
I can relate to your predicament with the recycling. It's a pain to do here too. Especially because the roommates aren't into it. But it does challenge you, which can be a good thing.
Anyway, good to have you back. Don't be a stranger now.
It sounds like you're in an amazing town, which I am totally jealous of. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time doing the play. Hopefully we hear lots about it from you!
