2009: The Fastest Year in the Entire History of Forever

I still have to make the conscious effort to write '09 on checks, etc and it's July! Holy F.

So I've taken a real summer vacay in a lot of ways. Literal ones...

Portland! Sarah really was having the best time ever. Bob and Stacey hosted us at their theatre, and we held an official Firecracker reunion.

Oh man, I'm having so much fun!

Portland led to Sun City, AZ.

Uncle Pete: Here, Nat, take this. In my chair with a right wing book and a remote. This is me.

Back to my days of liesure...Uncle Carl visits! A pic of him taking a pic on the lakefront Loyola campus.



These kids got married! The wedding was a great time. Thanks and congrats, John and Tracey!

And speaking of lovely couples...in the tent backstage of the CSz Taste of Chicago shows.

Happy 4th! At Tamara's annual bbq. Matt and I are strategically placed in front of a box of Twinkies. Pure coincidence.

CSz Chicago represents at Tournament in Milwaukee! A few of us dropped in the last night and hit up some shows and partying.

So Chicago didn't win tourney, but man look at these prizes!

In addition to the literal vacation, I've clearly taken some mental time off. It's a bad sign when blogging is a chore. Or a good one? I've been busy with travelling and shows and preparing for the trip to Washington DC for the Fringe Fest. After that, I start rehearsal for Girls' Night Out in Arlington Heights. That's mostly what I have to report.

I hope the 8 of you are happy for the update.
