Thank you all for visiting my site.  It has been an exciting ride going live along side the release of Harry Potter's last adventure.  I know that most of you have not only purchased the book, but have finished reading it and now feel perfectly satisfied and yet oddly bored and are currently seeking new entertainment.  That is why, ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to make nice-nice with GoDaddy and be here for you, through your withdrawal.

Took me some time, I am not going to lie.  I ignored him for weeks.  Then curtly said hello.  He was pissed and wouldn't let me in.  We exchanged a few nasty words.  I logged out.  I got on the phone.  He resisted again.  So I took some time off.  Then came crawling back.  I need him more that he needs me it turns out.  So I am being gentle with my double clicks and hope that somehow this blog will magically post itself and we will have a long and beautiful relationship starting today.

So it is Sunday.  Beautiful Summer Sunday.  Thank God for Sundays.  The best things happen on Sundays don't they?  Brunches.  Naps.  The New York Times.  Kids playing kickball in the street.  Drinking chardonnay by 3pm.  An extra helping of couscous.  Why not?  It's Sunday!

Especially after the week that we have just had in New York - today feels like Mother Nature's apology:  I am so sorry it rained so bad you couldn't get to where you wanted to go.  I am so sorry that I made the sky green and the wind sweep your doors off.  I am so sorry it was 90 degrees in the morning and then 55 at night and you didn't think to bring a sweater with you.  My bad. 

That's okay, Mother Nature.  We are still friends.  You and GoDaddy.  I am all good feelings today and filled with naps on couches and optimism on technology and buckets of forgiveness.  Forgiveness and couscous.



Bizie-newsie: I am nominated for best visiting actress in Cincinnati for Reckless.  Pretty cool.  I'll let you know what the jury decides in Ohio.

Ericka's Shout Out:  Congrats to Julie and Katy for getting engaged!  Pretty sparkling rings on fingers and big huge promises shouted out loud.

Ericka's 2 Cents:  Friends recommended that I see Eurydice playing now at 2econd Stage.  Said it was a "treat".  It was.  I highly recommend it for all you theatre-people and those of you who dare not enter a theatre unless I drag you.  See it.  It might change your mind.  Beautiful show and indeed a treat for the eyes, ears, and heart. 

Side Note:  Inspired by the show I decided to pretend that I was Eurydice this week in the rain with my yellow umbrella.  Did you happen to catch my performance on the 7 platform?  It was indeed a private spontaneous showing but I feel it was especially appreciated by the MTA man yelling at me with the blow horn to "back away from the edge".  I like to think he was not only protecting my personal safety but commenting, with caution, on my complex display of emotional depth.  Who says you can't find an audience anywhere?
