Feeling a Little Behind

I've been around here where you can't see me, not so much busy really as suffering a bit lately from constrained time availability.

Over the past two weeks our musical-theatre troupe did its fall production, "Secrets Every Smart Traveler Should Know" (a telling review), a light, inconsequential, but diverting musical review. Although I avoided weeks of rehearsal by working light crew this time rather than performing, four full rehearsals and five performances in those two weeks consumed a number of hours.

About a week ago, two of my websites were maliciously hacked in the internet version of high-spirited vandalism. Everything appears recoverable, but it's tedious and takes some time. If you wondered why this blog suddenly disappeared for a few days, that was the reason. Naturally, I hope I've thwarted the particular mode of attack that appeared most recently, but parasites evolve and the war escalates, so I'm not sanguine for long.

Interspersed in there were some deadlines to meet, rehearsals for other things to attend, medical appointments (relatively routine), parties, visitors, and diverse social obligations that seemed to pile up in October for some reason. Each was pleasant enough but they all squeezed out a few hours here and there.

Next up: Isaac and I are leaving on Tuesday for a 10-day sojourn in Rome, obviously a favorite destination of ours. We are going with a small group of friends, only six of us all together. Oh, it's all gay men this time, so we'll expect a fabulous time in Rome.

This means, of course, that another brief hiatus is on the horizon, but it, too, shall pass soon enough.

    Hope you have a wonderful time in Italia and that the repairs are as painless as possible. Cheers.
