Blue Super Group

Good news! I've found my travel journal in the mess that is our house, so I can slowly continue to write the world's most drawn-out travelogue.

Further good news (though it depends on when you ask me)! Connor and I were asked at the last moment to do some supernumerary (i.e. "extra") work for The Dallas Opera's production of The Magic Flute. I've been supering on and off the the Opera since 1984, when I was The Dragon in Wagner's Siegfried. Now, however, I have my 5' 4" 12-year old along with me - something I would have never predicted back in the 80's. He's only moderately interested in the actual opera; he's in it for the money. Which, though barely paying for gas as an adult, is pretty good for a kid! My hope is that a love for performing and the arts insinuates itself beneath his radar. I do think it's working.

The work looks pretty easy so far, with one exception. We're going to be slaves...and they're going to paint us BLUE. That's right, Blue Super Group.
