Updates are for girls and blogs...

Aaah, where to begin….and in no particular order:

  1. Kate and I are knee deep into our second year of marriage, wading through Kate’s first year of residency all the while playing a mean game of house. Yes, she is busy, yes, she is overwhelmed at times, and yes, she loves being a doctor, except when it comes to blood...gross!
  2. Our cattens (Kate refuses to acknowledge them as “cats”, so we use "kittens" and "cats" combined) are full grown and enjoying the free food and constant attention.
  3. We have convinced out landlord to remodel the bathroom, using me as the manual labor. I wish the migrate/illegal/undocumented/alien/used-to-be-the-Irish workers were taking MY job. So, by the end of May, we should not have to delouse ourselves after we leave the bathroom.
  4. We are on the market for a piece of art, so if you know anywhere to get cheap, original, tasteful, mind-blowing, large scale art, let us know.
  5. I was accepted to the National Theatre Conservatory, a nationally respected Master’s of Fine Arts program focusing on Acting. The school starts in Sept and is a 3 year commitment. By the end of the program, I will have a MFA in Acting and be a full company member of the Denver Center Theatre Company, plus I might be able to dress and bathe myself. As the first year is a tremendous commitment and Kate’s second year is especially time consuming, we plan on being pen-pal spouses. It should be neat.

Anyway, all is well and we hope things are keen with you.

It all sounds delightful and strenuous and exhausting. Confidential to Mr. Overeducated Laborer: Start from the ceiling and work your way down when re-modeling a bathroom. I speak from painful experience. If you want details, please to be contacting me at my email address. Let's see, what else - oh, if you are using tiles that will need grouting, you really do want to wear gloves when washing off the grout from the tiles. Hmm, I'm sure there's more...ah, if you are putting up sheetrock with your lovely wife and she's perched on the edge of the tub holding the sheetrock over her head, that's not the time to answer the phone. Um, use a product called Durock for the shower/tub enclosure. It's a special type of sheetrock that's incredibly water resistant. Minimize the time you are without a toilet. If you are replacing it, don't remove it until you have the new one. Really.
And teflon tape is your friend. So are knee pads and kneeling pads. And goggles. And face masks. And a good radio station.
Always remember, you can turn something too hard, and in general, righty tighty, lefty loose-y.
That will be all for now.

Congrats are your acceptance to Denver. It is a hard program to get in to. Did you only audition there? I will be going to Rutgers in the fall...
