A quick look at recent adventures…

And outside of the booth…
I’ve been playing more tennis lately (taking some lessons and practicing with a friend) and actually seeing some LIVE and IN PERSON theatre: Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming and An Iliad, co-written by Denis Hare and Lisa Peterson.
I don’t really have any photos of that stuff, so here’s my dog Paz in the middle of a bush. He is fully off the ground and at the top of it. He loves looking for tennis balls. And it’s only the hunt. About 5 minutes later, he’s lost interest. God, he’s ridiculous.
I’d love to hear what you’ve been up to and any other comments you have – leave a note below!
More ahead! Be well and keep in touch!
