I have recently found myself put somewhat into the role of cheerleader.

The "buck up" guy.

The "Keep On Truckin'" fella.

I have actually said, more than once, to people, without irony or sarcasm, things like "Stop being so negative - There is no point in continuing without the anticipation of success."

This strange notion of accept acknowledge and move on is kinda stretching around my frame. It'll go away quick if, say, I don't get paid (working for a non-profit theatre company with a history of lack of management has its pitfalls) ...

But I'm feeling the cozy in my new home groove.

Hamlet plays a few free (er... pay what you can, and man I hope people do drop some $$$) performances this week and next. Check www.bardtix.org for more info.
