Lotto Bust February 23, 2004 ~ 2:34 pm
Posted by Julie in : Drama Queen, Urban Family , trackbackSo I didn’t win the lottery. Or even come in second, which also would have been welcome. But then again, neither did any of my friends who played. My new idea is that it must be easier to win when the jackpot is relatively low, say one or two million dollars. Because then not as many people are playing and your odds increase. Or something like that…I was never good at math.
Sad news today, one of my friends who works at the college I do handed in his resignation today, which means he will be leaving after this academic year. He’s still unsure whether he will leave the city or not. It’s expensive to raise a family here and he’s got two kids now. Makes me sad to think about it…we have lunch once a week to keep in touch, and I’ll miss that. He’s also part of my artistic support unit - we got our MFAs together from this college, and as I’ve only stayed close with a few of the people I went through with, the loss of even one is painful. He’s a good friend, and I’ll miss him if he and his family go to Oregon.
Starting rehearsals tomorrow night for a Moliere piece: “The Bourgeois Gentleman”. I’m looking forward to it because the director/translator also got his MFA from the program I did, and views a dramaturg as an equal rather than a subordinate, as so many do. The production is with an off-B’way company I worked with last year, so there will be a couple of familiar faces in the cast as well, which is always nice.
Back to work…
