So goes that familiar line... except there's no real virgin sea left, is there? It's all pretty well travelled. "Set an open course for that whore sea" isn't as inviting an image, so I think Mr. DeYoung was wise to be kind in his appraisal of oceanic virginity.

What was I posting about? I don't remember... oh yeah.

We're all tired and ready to be on the ship. We're going to have a "hell week" of rehearsing in the middle of the night and trying to tech out all three shows at once, not to mention lifeboat drill training and such things in the daytime... so by the time we reach the Canary Islands we'll be so dizzy we won't realize where we are until Casablanca.

Today is a great example of how tired we are... from the start of the day no one had anything to give, and while we have had days like that in the past it usually improves. Now, not so much. We started at 0% and got to say 25%. Who deserves a break today? Well, deserves? Not so much... needs? Yes. And we had a day off YESTERDAY.

BTW, I'm typing this post on my computer. It came back to me, but I did in fact lose EVERYTHING so anyone who has any copies of photos or recordings or things I've written... please send. Contact me. I gotta get back to rehearsal now.

Sometime soon I'll tell you all about the great people I'm working with.
