  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02240 It is funny because it could mean Frankenstein as in The People vs. Frankenstein, the play I am performing in or it could mean my buddy Frank from college. Well, it means both. My friend Frank came over to see the opening night showing of the People Vs. Frankenstein and I was very surprised. I noticed that he posted on Facebook that we was attending right before we started. He hung out after the show and we chatted for a long time. It has been very long since last I saw Frank. Each time we do get together we end up spending tons of time talking. The show went very well and the writer of the play was very pleased. Two more shows this weekend.

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02239 It was finally warm enough outside for me to take a walk around the neighborhood. Well, I actually walk much further beyond the neighborhood. I was walking by my grandparents’ old house today and noticed that a very large tree that had been in the yard forever had been cut down. This was a huge tree and the trunk and stump are enormous around. I shot this image and sent it to my mom. resting up today since it has been non stop theater all week for the show. Tomorrow is our opening night and I found out that the writer of the play was going to be there with a film crew to see the show and shoot a documentary. So cool.

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02238 At dinner Eva made a point to tell me that I should be nice to the crew at the theater. What she tends to forget is that I was part of the crew all through High School and did every part I could to help every show I was in. Tonight was no exception. There was a bit to clean up and I pitched right in. I made sure to snap a quick photo and send it over to Eva.

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02237 Tonight was the preview show for the Masons. The theater where we rehearse is in the basement of the Mason building across from the Library. I think that the show went very very well tonight. As I was leaving one of the people in the audience thanked me and said that they really enjoyed the show. This is Tech week so most everything I post is going to be about the play. We have another dress rehearsal tomottor and then a day off of rehearsing Thursday and Friday is opening night. I think we are in good shape, though.

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02236 Got into bed tonight and realized that I had not taken a photo. For some reason I was a bit too tired to even bother to take a photo. We had our first dress rehearsal tonight and it went very well. Things are shaping up to make this a stand out performance.

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02235 Today was the last Sunday rehearsal before we started dress rehearsals and our opening night is this coming Friday. I can’t wait to see the whole show to go off. It is shaping up to be a great performance. We had a great rehearsal today and I am excited to be a part of this cast.

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02234 I was on Tik Tok the other day and saw these pins and so I decided to buy a bunch of them. Mostly for myself but also to give to other people I may come in contact with who also see themselves as a safe person for the LGBTQIA+ community. God knows that the world is unkind to those who are different and struggling. My facebook memories brought up this quote from one of my friends who is a comedian and who does a podcast. It is also appropriate for this sentiment.
