Next week, I begin teaching for the Maryland State Arts Council again. All of the preparations, revising A Thing for Redheads, and the political conventions have prevented me from adding anything new to this thing. As expected, the novelty of the blog has worn off and I’d rather direct my energies elsewhere. Something else that bothers me particularly, which I just found out from Deirdre McShane–a college friend with whom I reconnected on Facebook–is that no one but WordPress members may post comments. It smacks of a pyramid scheme and, I hope, it is the principle reason why my brother appears to be the only person reading what I write.
I hope to have one final scene from Irish Authors Held Hostage posted by the end of the week, something that will show off our wonderful actress, Lori Boyd. We hope to mount the show again at the Capital Fringe Festival in summer 2009.
Also, I’ll be performing in staged readings of student plays at Creative Alliance in Baltimore on September 18. Christine Stewart of MSAC asked me to take part. First rehearsal is tonight. Should be fun.
