"And it's beginning to snow."

It's late, but I wanted to be sure to get some gratitude in before the day's end.

Today I'm grateful for:

• that first snow of the season - and the fact that it didn't stick around to cause trouble.
• the absolutely brilliant production of The Last Days of Judas Iscariot at PLU, which I had the pleasure of seeing this weekend. If you haven't read this play (or even if you have), you must find a copy of the script and read it; the playwright's examination of religion and humanity is fascinating.
• finally starting RENT rehearsals tonight. It was only a table-talk and read-through, but I'm already incredibly excited about this cast.
• finally getting back to the stage, where I belong.
• fireplaces and blankets... my best friends this time of year.
• molasses cookies.
