Who Will Buy?

I don't know if you're familiar with musical theatre, however, this morning was one of those "Oliver!" moments. On a beautiful English morning, Oliver sings, "Who will buy this wonderful morning. Such a sight, you never did see. Who will tie it up with a ribbon and put it in a box for me." As I walked to Personal Finance, a Tuesday routine that I dread, I was awakened by the sound of crunching leaves and the smell of fall. I couldn't help but wish I could somehow box up the moment to return to it at a later date. The way I work though, I would probably box it up and forget about it, just to find it two years later, expired and useless.

On a different note entirely, I got into the fall play, Flowers for Algernon. I have a small role, which is wonderful, because I have my work cut out for me with costuming. My friend, David, got some books for me from the library about fashion trends from the 60's and 70's, which is wonderfully helpful as long as I don't dress the cast like David Bowie.

This past weekend was the 3rd Annual Acting on Aids Lip Sync at Grace. David Lepor (the same from the aforementioned paragraph) and I served as the emcees. It was so much fun. You can find the video of David and I emceeing at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xroFc1ZuP8. I emceed the variety show in high school, so I was glad to have some experience, but I had completely forgotten how much I enjoy emceeing and improv. If the Acting on Aids leaders read this and would like to find an emcee for next year, I'm sure I'll be available. *nudge, nudge* This post is getting a bit long, so I'll go ahead and wrap this up. You should be outside enjoying fall anyway. Have a lovely week. Keep on truckin'!
