Three Beautiful Things 12/17/06: Merry Christmas, Christmas Gift, Ruth Ames

1. Having Scott appreciate my post "You'd Think Stalin Was Coming to Town" and, at the end of rehearsal, he loudly, enthusiastically, heartily, and sincerely wished me a Merry Christmas. It was among the first such "Merry Christmas" greetings I've shared with anyone in Eugene this year. It felt good.

2. Buying the Deke a new digital camera and anticipating the enjoyment she'll have taking pictures of our dogs as well as the children she works with teaching music. I'm also hoping she'll express her wonderful and often caustic wit through her new camera.


3.
Tonight, because she was working on her own, I appreciated how Ruth Ames is doing a first-rate job assisting in the direction of Othello. She is clear in her directions, helps keep Sparky aware of production details and what time it is, does her best to chase down tardy and absent actors, and helps free up Sparky to give her best attention to helping actors and to her exercising her rich imagination.
