Unprecedented Brevity After an Unprecedented Break in Posting
Monmouth, Illinois, March 4:
It would have been appropriate for us to perform Henry V in Monmouth, because Henry, as the Crown Prince of Wales, was known as ‘Harry of Monmouth.’ I think he is also referred to as simply ‘Monmouth’ a couple of times in the Henry IVs. [...]

Huntsville, Alabama, February 14-16:
One of the problems with God’s Geographical Reminder That Life is Not Fair (otherwise known as Florida) is the question of why bad weather happens to good people. We drove into a cold front as we moved west, so that when we emerged from the vans in Huntsville, Alabama, the temperature hovered [...]

Alternate Title: Death and Rebirth in Islamorada
Islamorada, Florida, February 8-9:
Words cannot express how fantastic, and how surreal, it was to be in the Florida Keys.
And so this concludes this particular blog post.
Ha ha! If I fooled you, you must have never seen the average length of my posts. Perhaps you stumbled onto this blog by [...]

Sarasota, Florida, February 5-6:
Florida appears to me to be God’s geographical reminder that life is not fair. I had never been to Florida in the winter, and, being thus unprepared for the surprise of how warm it actually was, my first thought, as I stepped out of the van, was: “This is not FAIR.” It [...]

Weyers Cave, Virginia, January 18:
Weyers Cave was one of the first places we visited on the first leg of our tour, and it was nice to return to do Henry V, having done Taming of the Shrew in the fall. It was nice to do Henry, at all, in order to satisfy our interrupted expectations two [...]

Warrentown, Virginia, January 16:
We kicked off the second half of our tour with three day trips within a couple hours’ drive of Staunton. All three performances were slated to be Henry V, which is statistically dissimilar to the general bookings for the three shows; in the fall, Taming of the Shrew seemed to account for roughly [...]

Watertown, New York, November 4-7:
Our stay in Watertown did not have an auspicious beginning. Instead, it began with all of us loitering in the parking lot outside of the Days Inn, waiting for Aaron and Paul to return with our room assignments, but seeing, instead, Aaron stride out of the hotel with the kind of [...]

Today’s post is brought to you by the single quotation mark: ‘’. Useful in making linguistic distinctions and hypothetical comments! Unfortunately, kids, as they are not audible, they are difficult to make a song about.
