A Golden Wedding

The 'Zilla has just returned from Ashland Oregon and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Three days with 23 high school students. The only really hard thing was the most ear splitting laugh ever heard. It even made the actor's of The Importance of Being Earnest break character. As one of the student's said, "it sounds like a duck caught in the blades of a dull woodchipper." Zilla has then had to listen to the dead-on impressions of it. He still laughs at them. We'll see how long his humor will hold.

Besides Earnest, the group also saw The Winter's Tale, Intimate Apperal, and The Diary of Anne Frank. All of them well done. However, the Zilla has a few issues with the staging of Anne Frank, being that he has had the honor of directing the play twice. IA is a fantastic play with great common themes and, frankly, WT is a snoozefest.

Zilla is in the midst of Tempest rehearsals. It goes on weekend after next. It should be good and the Zilla only has to come up with a set. It will be simple and work. That's all that can be asked of him.

The job search conitinues . . . It makes the Zilla nervous and in want of Diet Shasta.

It has come to this!

In an attempt to seem cool, in "The Now," proof that I have an existance, I have entered the blogosphere.

Some way you, dear reader, have found yourself at this address. If I know you "welcome." If I don't . . . well welcome too. Comments are cool, but please remember my mother will eventually see this page, therefore I would appriciate your good behavior.

That's just asking to be flamed or whatever it is called.

As I look at an American high school student walking around the classroom with fairy wings and not being pelted with spitballs or insults, I have a bit of hope for the world.

Thank you for allowing me to share it with you. Kent.
