PRE-Post-Partum?

This time tomorrow morning I will be in LaGuardia Airport, likely waiting in a lineup to check my bags or go through airport security or something. And by tomorrow afternoon, I will be back "home" in Toronto.

I wasn't feeling too excited about that fact, until my friend Mark called me - just now - and we chatted for a bit about plans to meet up while he's travelling in Europe this Spring and I am working in South-Central France. And we also talked about my hopes and plans for moving to New York next year, and the busyness of my next few weeks before I go to France, when I will be doing one more leg of The Burning Bush's World Tour in Halifax (this weekend!!!) and taking a road-trip to Vermont with my high school friend Sarah... Oh, the future is so exciting!!

But most of all, I think I am feeling better after talking to Mark because even just hearing his voice, and talking for a few minutes, helped me to remember the fabulousness of my life in Toronto that awaits me, and most of all the people there that I love! I'm looking forward to a whirlwind few days of "home" before Halifax this weekend.

And speaking of whirlwind - these last few days sure have been! Agressive New York snowstorms arriving hot on the heels of springtime-like sunshine and morning walks through Central Park; Days of living with laughter and love, peppered with watching theatre and doing theatre and meeting theatre people and talking about theatre and raising our glasses to the theatre...

And New York City. The land of the Jews and the Irish, and realising that I might actually be a little bit of both - so of course I heart NY and loved stage managing the show about the stripping Rabbi on St Patrick's Day!

And solidifying fond new friendships, and falling in love, and always, working to the bone, and still loving...
Every Single Moment...

I get creative and installation-artsy on the snowy day of shabat


The loveable character of "Christy" - the opening act for The Burning Bush, with the most generous man in New York City and my new friend Joe "De la Heyman" (Uncle to my favorite NYC sketch comedy troupe, the super smart and funny 'Drop Six')


Tracey with Erez - Director of the NY FRIGID Festival, and one of my new best friends in New York City. He and his wife Laura are SO gonna be my peeps when I move here. Yeah!


Audiences wait in the crowded warmth of the lobby on a frigid St Patrick's Day... I think this is what success looks like, no?


Tracey, er, I mean Christy & Megs steal one last backstage moment together before the final NY FRIGID Fest performance of The Burning Bush. In case you're wondering, this is what Jewish bling looks like (Big Sis & Lil Sis versions, respectively)

And so we beat on, boats against the current... or something like that.
