Home Again

It’s true, I’m home once again and it feels good despite how cold it is in the city. I left the Westerdam almost a week ago and flew home on WestJet. I was slightly apprehensive because I’d not flown with them before but I found that there was no reason to worry. In fact their staff were some of the most friendly I’ve ever flown with. Having said that however it was the worst flying experience I’ve had in a while... how is this possible? Well, to preface this I have to say that I was flying with a sinus cold. My ears were in severe pain during take off and landing. For a whole twenty-four hours afterwards I couldn’t hear properly and I was worried that there might have been some permanent damage. Again, as it turns out, my fears were unfounded.

At any rate I’m home for the next six days before flying out again to visit friends in Seattle and Las Vegas. I imagine that will be good times and who knows, I might have access and time to post a couple photos or blogs. Maybe... ha ha.

Ringing In The New Year

It's 2010 - it's been 2010 for the last few days but in my industry the holiday season is probably one of the busiest seasons of the year. December has been almost rediculously busy this year. The first two weeks were a changeover of the cast so we were in rehearsals all day every day and the second half of the month has been the usual holiday junk involving christmas and new years celebrations.

The new cast has been settling in nicely - there are small dramas as with any cast but in general they're doing pretty well. The new show has been almost completely installed - we're only missing the video system and one scenic element which we have no room to hang due to other set pieces in the air.

I've now got three weeks left until I'm home again - another contract done with and a nice break with friends and family. I've got a few things planned for this vacation; a week in Las Vegas at a time share, a week taking a cruise as a guest, a weekend visiting my friends in Ottawa, a week or two visiting my parents and who knows what else.

Apology.

Just a quick letter of apology to everyone out there - I know it's been a long time since I actually wrote anything and I swear I'll get back into it but at the moment things are just far too busy... Installing a new cast, a new show in addition to Christmas and New Years voyages.
