Big success back west for yours truly. I had the chance to go back to my college, Whitman College, in Walla Walla, WA for a couple weeks. And yes, you may make fun of the name Walla Walla, but as you laugh or snicker, I would like you to think of the native americans who we probably killed off with disease or something and now have a wealthy college, Wallmart, and a Starbucks in place of their land. Yeah, not laughing now, are we. Well, Walla Walla still sounds funny, so whatevs.
I went back and dance in a contemporary dance piece of the story of Jekyll and Hyde, playing Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. Great piece, the two students who choreographed it did a fantastic job, as did all the dancers, and it was a blast. Hopefully will get some pictures in the near future to show my fantasticness, haha. And I got the chance to teach a bunch of dance classes which was a great opportunity for me to get some experience teaching. Plus, being in a smaller and quieter town is so refreshing.
Then back to Seattle to visit with the family and a few friends I could squeeze in, play a round of golf (I can still barely hold my own, but was decent for not playing in a year or so), and also got to see my sister sing her junior vocal recital at Pacific Lutheran University. She was amazing, and I'm so proud of her. It would have made me tear up if I was a cryer, but I'm not, so only tears in my mind and thoughts. But really...amazing, she has a great future ahead of her.
Now I'm back in the city ready for whatever is next. Not exactly sure what that is, but that's the adventure. Just like waiting in line to see a Japanese film showing at the Tribeca Film Festival. I say adventure, because we were turned away when there was no room in the theatre. Guess you have to be there like an hour early. It's showing tomorrow, so new plan...get there early, and actually see what you were waiting in line for...I know...I just blew your mind with that little bit of philosophy I threw in there. You will both be entertained, hear what I'm up to, catch glimpses of genious philosophical thinking, and enjoy my idiotic humor. G'night!
