It's been a short week. I arrived here almost a week ago and have been mostly either in rehearsal or getting a sunburn since then. Florida sun. Ah.

Ouch.

Ah. Rehearsals are going well, and last night I had the chance to see a lot of friends (most of whom I didn't expect to see) when I travelled up to Ft. Myers to see CAROUSEL at the Broadway Palm. My friend Aaron was pretty much flawless as Billy Bigelow - it's something like his fifth of sixth run in the role, anyway. He gets to perform nightly with his lovely wife Tracy, who is a wonderful Julie Jordan. Lucky bastard! It was great to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. A great show, closes today with a double.

Verdict thus far, having not yet seen hurricane season or been bitten by a swamp-dwelling reptile on the way to my car: I like Florida.

Three new letters are entering my vocabulary here: SPF. Ouch.
