2010: First Contact

I promised to return and I have (just not as quickly as I had intended). The end of the year brought closure to a couple of situations in my life that needed closure. I got up on top of that building where my father's shop used to reside and proceeded to scatter his ashes... he's home, where he really needed to be (and not in my kitchen cabinet in a plastic container). Lisa Andrzejewski, someone I had just met, joined me up there and made a very difficult thing in my life, a little bit easier. I owe her more than she would ever care to know (and yes, Karl made it possible by bringing a ladder... deep sincere kudos to him as well). I love them both for their strength and support and for being friends over the span of this life (old and new). The other was the one year celebration of being liberated from the Frame Factory. I still know that all that transpired since the day I was let go has been the best time of my life. Theatre dominated my world and helped to keep me grounded when others might have gone crazy with the 'all play and no work' that I had been doing. Things are now beginning to turn for the better. Time and space from the past has been very good for me and my view of the world (and yes, made me even more aware of it's weaknesses and it's strengths). I thank my parents for giving me the clear sense and broad shoulders to be able to bear all that has come my way. It's been quite a rocket ride. ZOOM! Peace.
