1. Turns out that my brother-in-law's cousin at Vandal Sense and I are not only distantly related, but have a lot to correspond about in relation to Kellogg. His father is three years younger than I and his mother lived a block away from me in Kellogg. Our correspondence is new and already very interesting. How fun!
2. Othello director Sparky gave me a little stuffed lion for Christmas to commemorate playing Lion as Snug the Joiner in our 2005 production of A Midsummer Night's Dream which she also directed.
3. I watched Tara and Ben play their Emelia and Iago handkerchief scene today and, with six weeks to go until the play hits the boards, they are off book and exploring all kinds of sexual tension and gamesmanship between the two characters. It was sublime watching them play today. I tingled.

Three Beautiful Things 12/19/06: Jealousy, Merry Christmas, Writing
1. Othello director Sparky has visual amazements in store for audiences who see our show this February and she sent me jpg's of some of the sensual, sensuous, frightening images that audiences will see during this production.
2. I bought dog food and cat food today and the woman working the counter showed genuine interest in my upcoming travels to Kellogg. I took a risk. I wished her Merry Christmas. She wished me the same. My leapt with joy at the exchange.
3. Reviewing writing my fall English Composition students finished fills me with satisfaction as I read their improved eloquence and deeper intelligence.

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.
