Come see me in Candide!
If I blog rather less than some days for the next week, please bear with me: I’m in the throes of the final rehearsals leading up to Wednesday’s opening of the five-show run of Regina Lyric Light Opera‘s production of Candide, in which I play Voltaire/Pangloss/The Governor/The Host/The Sage. It’s a lot of fun but …

Too busy to blog today, but not too busy to continue getting used to my new camera. More photos (though none are from the new camera yet) here.
Photo of the Day: Irises
