True Friends

officially exhausted. Flying in was fine, work was fine, flying back was a long day. We were up at 3:30am to do the show and then finally home after some airline debacles at 1am the next morning. At least I’m getting paid. I have to say I wasn’t impressed with our set. Once again you couldn’t really tell we were in Iowa….we shot at a beautiful venue, the Iowa public television studio is quite the high tech facility but it didn’t look much like the mid-west….oh well. off to New Hampshire on saturday.

Hope everyone had a healthy, safe and fun new year!

You’d probably have to get out in the countryside to really tell you were in Iowa-or Ohio-or Wisconsin-or Minnesota-they probably all look pretty much alike to most people! Glad you had a safe trip.

I imagine it will all become a big blur in your memory in a few weeks. Happy New Year to you!

What a wonderfully complex time to be flying into Iowa and hearing the underground mumbles… ryn: of course! It simply rolled onto the page in that way.

re the symptoms? you’ve been all over the USA lately. perhaps jet lag as well?

Wow, you are busy! (Well, you were at the beginning of january, but I imagine that was only the start of it.) I hope you are enjoying the busyness. RYN: I’m an introvert, too and seem to also find myself too often listening for great stretches at a time. My challenge to myself for the next ten years is to get better at getting and keeping conversations more balanced. I’m noticing that those of my friends who, like me, often have difficulty breaking into monologues, are, also like me, only children. Those of my frinds who go on regardless, and are hardest to break in on are eldest children. Are both of those coincidences, I wonder, or is there a pattern there?
