Wow. What a fabulous week. Last Saturday was my birthday. I spent hours on the phone with friends. The week sped by. Cuckoo's Nest is still selling out. I was offered the chance to direct a new adaptation of Oliver Twist for ACT. And then, this morning, my phone rang like forty times. I needed sleep, so I blissfully ignored it. Then I got up and was puttering around when the phone rang again, for me. It was my friend Anita. She was in town and we made plans to go see Bowling for Columbine. Well, those had been my plans, but now I was picking her up first. Out of curiosity I checked the phone log to see who had called earlier in the morning.

Lo and behold. There were three calls from my friend Mike. I immediately rang his number up in Fairbanks. He wasn't home, I mentioned who I was and Mike's roommate(?) told me Mike had left for Anchorage around noon. Yee haw! Fairbanks people comin' to Anchorage in droves. This was exciting.

Mike, Maggie, and Anita all made it to see my play tonight. They all seemed to like it. Afterwards we went out to Mooses Tooth then to Mad Myrna's. Dropped Anita off at her hotel, made up the couch bed for Mike and Maggie, and now its time to sleep. Ahhh... evil daytime savings. I'm losing an hour of sleep tonight, and this time it's not my fault.
