 Well, keeping up the regularity - not!  Just had my 78th birthday and am still in the theater.  Currently in The Laramie Project which is a hard hitting kind of on stage documentary about the torture and murder of Matthew Shepard a gay university student from Laramie, Wyoming.  I am loving the fact that this play can make a difference.  We are on stage the whole time and each of us plays around 6 different characters.

One of my characters is the doctor who first treated Matthew.
Here I play a Mormon minister and next
is a photo of us with 'big ass wings' to hide the preacher Fred Phelps.





The other big event in my life is that i have recently been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrilation about which I knew nothing.  Clearly, I know more and I suspect that when I was unwell in Oregon in the summer, that was the start of it.

It makes you really aware of your heart and when the heart misbehaves it feels just ghastly.  No warning either so as I have two mor performances this weekend I really amy praying that I don't get any incidents while on stage!

Yesterday was the 13th anniversary of our emigration!  Where does the time go.  I hate the direction that this country is going in though and think that the President, Donald Trump is a dangerous man.
