The Winter of Waiting is over!  Spring is in full bloom (as are the Schremmer Allergies), our movie’s going to the LA Film Festival, our play’s going to be in the New York International Fringe Festival, I get to read a piece I wrote in our neighborhood’s Above the Bridge reading series next month, Troy and I finally get to do a reading from our friend Ilyon Woo’s book THE GREAT DIVORCE (postponed due to a snow storm) next week, and our building’s elevators are both working today!  The past couple of weeks I have spent a lot of time sitting at this here computer figuring out our very exciting travel plans for the summer while also pretending to be a theatre producer.  We’ve got money to raise, a stage manager to hire, a play to rewrite, insurance to purchase, Equity to deal with, rehearsals to schedule, and about 347 forms to fill out.  Hopefully come August Troy and our friend Dusty Brown will be up on a stage performing “The Ballad of Rusty and Roy.”

Thankfully we get to take a break from all this grown-up stuff to play with that kid of ours.   This last weekend we enjoyed Saturday at the Hall of Science and Mother’s Day at the Bronx Zoo.  (Thank God for Family Memberships and borrowed cars.)   I’m not sure Huck is aware that his mother’s brain is crammed too full of information these days, but I’m sure he’s noticed that I’ve stopped complaining of being bored.

Now if we could only find a new apartment …
