Leaving for the Lake today!

Ah, waking up in my glorious bed for the last time for four weeks! The other day I was trying to remember what it was like getting ready to split for one of these gigs when I was single and lived alone. I had to think about all different things - checking mail, getting bills paid - and I wasn't sad about being separated from my partner. My energy before leaving was quite different, I think, but I can't quite remember!

I'm ready to go, though. Music and dialog learned, bags packed, boarding pass printed. (Organizing travel for guest artists must have been a mega pain in the ass before the interwebs.)

I heard that SLC was getting a bunch of snow. Well, a couple of inches, but it was a good reminder that it's still totally winter there and I need to bring warm enough clothes and good shoes. I know, this is the boring stuff about getting ready for travel. I'll throw in a photo from the last Magic Flute to whet your appetite. This was the curtain call for opening night, and my dad's wife sneakily took this photo. Not too bad!
