We arrived in Wycombe by train yesterday. My Aunt and Uncle put together a little barbeque of chicken, pork chops, and sausages. We had green beans and potatos from the garden. We also had lettuce and tomatos that came from the garden too. It was a very nice meal.

After eating we got dressed for the theatre. Every year my uncle and aunt attend the local theatre's children's production at the Wycombe Swan. In this case it was the last night of Kiss Me Kate. The performers are between the ages of 8-18 and I must say were quite good for such a young cast. It seemed like there may have been over one hundred in the cast. I was please, because it gave a young group the chance to work with a proper orchestra in the pit.

I went to Virginia Tech for my Master's. I actually went to Tech because of George Thorn--an amazing man to learn from. But there were quite a few people who had an impact on me and Barbara was at the top of the list.

Her gentle sense of humour infused every aspect of her easing into her teaching and mentoring. Barbara spent a semester with me helping me hone a script based loosely on my own life experiences. She eked a voice out of me that I wouldn't have found otherwise. The piece, MobiusTrip, was multicast on the Internet in 1997--wow, ten years ago. Nobody was engaged on that kind of work. I captured it and recently uploaded it scene by scene to Revver.
