From ‘Through the Looking Glass’ by Lewis Carroll

“What–is–this?” he said at last.
“This is a child!” Haigha replied eagerly, coming in front of Alice to introduce her, and spreading out both his hands towards her in an Anglo-Saxon attitude. “We only found it to-day. It’s as large as life, and twice as natural!”
“I always thought they were fabulous monsters!” said the Unicorn. “Is at alive?”
“It can talk,” said Haigha, solemnly.
The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said “Talk, child.”

Working, always working

Ladies, gentlemen, thank you for your patience with me, specifically your ongoing patience.

I’ve been running myself ragged since returning from the tour. The videos are coming…I’m editing them together. I’ve finished the first draft of a new play. I’ve applied for a slew of things, including academic programs, fellowships, and just plain submissions. I’ve received rejections–albeit complimentary–which fuel my reasoning to keep going.

Friends have visited. I have traveled. It’s autumn in New England and all of us should go peeping (looking at the lovely foliage, rather than into the windows of your trusting neighbors, you dirty readers). I will update this soon…definitely not soon enough, but soon. Leave me some words. Any you want. I’m sure to love nearly all of them.

And so, we are home…

Last night’s ending of the Portraiture tour went off hitchless. I had a nice crowd, appreciative all, and was invited back to perform whenever I’d like. Evenings like that remind me of why I moved back to Boston.

Videos, photos, and stories are forthcoming. Thank you to everyone who attending the performances. I’ve just netted potential funding to tour throughout New England, via New England States Touring. And I have a forthcoming performance, date to be determined, at HUB Comics in Somerville, MA. Hooray!
