Crow Fly Away From Here

Last night was our last opening night. We opened Breakin' Hearts and Takin' Names with Kevin Kling and Simone Perrin and that show is seriously wonderful. I found out yesterday that the songs from the show are our "on hold" music when you call the rep. So I called a line that no one is on, pushed speaker, and listened to four songs on repeat for an hour. I went away to ask someone a question and when I came back Jessica had hung up my phone. She'll pay for that mistake. Bottom line: I want to be a story teller like Kevin. He is full of joy and humor and has an optimistic observation of the human condition without being precious or naive. I just love this show. 

The contract for my internship ends May 1. It is freaking me out how close it is to all being over. Just something that I did for 9 months. Someone recently told me that she wished the word "just" didn't exist. She brought up a good point. I didn't just do my internship. I fricken schooled it. But "over it shall be." - Yoda. The I'll be back in Iowa for a month. I'll get to see my college friends in Iowa City, take up a Cubbies game, see my friend's wedding, and rediscover the joys and wiles of Dubuque. It'll be grand. River walk, here I come.
