i have to be at rehearsal in 23 minutes, but i just wanted to put up this one photo. maybe i’ll put up a few more when i get home tonight.
this was taken on the train home from chicago last evening.
let me just say that i love the train. i brought along all kinds of reading and writing material to keep me busy, but i spent most of my time looking out the window at the world speeding by.
i love the train.
some people love the train, some get bored with it.
i became fascinated with this image, which i attempted to capture – the girl in front of me was watching a DVD on her computer. it involved horses and cowboys, i think, and it was interesting to watch as the movie appeared in the window ahead of me. cowboys riding along in the movie, as the bare fields passed by. i took a lot of pictures, and none of them turned out that great, but i think you can get the idea with this one.
“wicked” is the best musical i’ve ever seen, i think. i keep trying to think of others i might have liked more, but i haven’t come up with anything so far. i want to see it again and again. i’d like to see it in new york, but i always wish for too much.
the run is allegedly going to be extended indefinitely in chicago, and it’s coming to the fox theater in st. louis in november, so i know there will be opportunities to see it again. a very good thing.
aside from that, chicago was entirely too cold.
it really made me think about whether i want to spend another winter in the midwest.
going up to chicago was like being in a time warp; suddenly it was winter all over again. the temperatures were in the 40’s, with the wind chill in the 30’s. it got slightly warmer, but only slightly.
i hate the cold.
ok, now i’m going to be late for rehearsal.
go see “wicked.” and if for some strange reason you DON’T love it, well, then i’m afraid there’s just no hope for you.
ok then,
grace glad to be here where it’s warm and humid.
