So I thought maybe I was so eloquent in my last post that it might sustain for the entirety of the month! A little audacious? Hmmm, ok how about I wanted to let the memory of my grandmother linger and honor her by not writing during the whole month of October? You're not buying it are you?
Well, truth be told, I have been insanely busy and with acting work as well as "work" work. Quick update on the money-side of work... I started as a Front Desk Concierge at The Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca. Yes, right next to (actually attached to) the restaurant I recently retired from, Locanda Verde. I actually LOVE the job. I get to plan people's vacation and help them get the best NYC experience, which sounds incredibly cheesy, but its so fun! Plus, I'm learning a lot about the City and using my title as Concierge to try some local restaurants at a much discounted rate. Quite nice, I think!
On the acting side of life, lots and lots of auditions. I've booked a couple things and had to decline because I just started this job at the hotel and right now I need $$ over small credits for the rez! I just did a reading of a fabulous new play! For the first time in my acting life, I picked up a brand new piece of material no one had seen before and read it and felt so excited by the potential of the piece. Its hard to describe, but imagine you've just discovered an amazing recipe or song or game or book or movie and you just can't get enough and keep finding more and more things about it that pull you in deeper! That's what its like discovering these characters and their story! Rare and so fun! Also, I recently got into a selective acting class with a fellow by the name of Wynn Handman! Very excited about this one! He's been teaching forever and I know its going to make me a better actor. I'm pretty intimidated but in the inspired way not the scared way!
The biggest news of all is that I'm moving into my 5th apartment tomorrow! Hopefully this will be the last move for a while. I have a very good feeling about this and the way everything fell into place, it really was a NY miracle with Divine intervention! Thank you all for your prayers! I'm hiring movers for the first time ever tomorrow, so that should be interesting! I'm a real New Yorker now! Maybe I'll settle a bit after this and write a little more frequently... maybe!

I think you're sounding kind of like "one of them," but meant in a good way: very professional and cool. Also think you're making good choices. Glad to hear about the job, the move, the new class.
Progress!
