Upgrades and Updates

I'm going to take a little bit more of a personal note with this blog. Lately, lots of things in my life and in the world have been looking "up." AND, that makes me feel really good and really happy.

First of all, we've got ourselves a new President!
Total upgrade, and it makes me feel so good to know that I'm living in an era that isn't only going to be remembered for destruction, disasters, and terrorism, but is more importantly going to be remembered as an era of PROGRESS. We have come so far as a country in even the last few months that I have faith that we can only get better. Also, I finally feel like we have a President that is MY president and not just some old guy who has no idea what I'm facing as the "future of the nation."

Next up is that Blackout was here all day Sunday helping up make our booth be new and improved. Everything has been re-purposed and is easy to find! It's so organized now that when I go in there I forget I'm in the Box. Now, if we can get our acts together and get the rest of the theatre organized, we'll be set. Thanks so much to you Blackout Guys. We definitely couldn't have done it without you.

PNM finally got it together and HIRED DOUG. Finally. And he got a raise which is super nice, so he doesn't have to worry about work for a while and that makes Doug happy. Thank goodness. See how happy he is!

At my job, (I work at a conference organization company) I got upgraded to my very own office. I was sharing before, which wasn't bad at all, but now I have my own office with a window. When you work in the theatre, you get used to not seeing daylight, but it totally messes with you. It's nice to see the sun now and again. Hey Sun! I want to give you a great big hug!

Finally, next week opens the upgraded version of "Puss in Boots," which has now become an "80's Musical Extravaganza!" Our most talented kids are in the show AND it features everyone's favorite 80's music. Please come see it! It's a blast from the past!

Hope to see you all soon at The Box!
