Well a little time has passed since my last entry. I really had fun as Herr Drosselmeier in The Nutcracker. Two of my brothers in town for the holidays caught the show so that made it even more special for me. My children also saw the show and they are quite familiar with the sound track ...so much so that when we decorated the Christmas tree we listened to the sound track of The Nutcracker and they were recalling the events of the ballet with many pieces of the music.

Now its time to relax a bit from the stage and finish shopping over the next 2 or 3 days. I am looking forward to a little rum and eggensienoggen. The kids are wound for Christmas. We went sliding in the yard for a while yesterday, it was quite fun actually. I am off to watch Peter sing with his class at school tomorrow. Its nice to hear both kids singing more and more.

and just in case I don't post again until next year I hope everyone has a happy type of whatever sort of festive season that you celebrate followed by a generally cheery type of initiation of the new year.

I've had two rehearsals so far for The Nutcracker and it seems to be going ok so far. I am playing the role of Herr Drosselmeier. There is a three and a half minute dance I'm learning which is .........fun. The other scenes in the act I have a lot of movement on the stage where my footwork does not have to be quite as precise.LOL. It plays at the Imperial Theatre on December 17 and 18. It is being presented by the Rothesay School of Ballet.
