At the request of a "car wreck"...

Someone who will remain not-so-vaguely-referred-to-in-the-title-of-this-post asked if I would ever post another blog here. The answer is "yes I will," but the infrequency must be explained.

You see, this amazing thing happened. "A child was born" and that child is my son. While I don't have to spend a great deal of time with him because my wife provides for his every need (eating) he does require some time from me which I am happy to give. He also makes my schedule less predictable than it was (and it was pretty unpredictable before).

The other factor, sadly, is my change of occupation. Last year I was teaching a 20-ish student acting course. This semester I am dealing with a 400ish student Film course. While the teacher still "learns" my learning is more managerial than educational. This limits the appropriateness of my current occupation to the overall theme and meaning of this blog.

I am, however, working as a dramaturg this semester. That is pertinent and will be discussed when some time appears and I can commit some reflection to the process. At the moment I am still adjusting to the drastic changes this semester has brought upon us (and by "us" I mean "me").

A quick update about dramaturgy (and something I'll certainly be writing about) is that I have an asst. dramaturg. This wonderful individual is from outside the department but will be working with me on The Underpants. This is a new situation for me and should prove to be an interesting one. I must admit that one of my failings as a person is delegation. Four years spent obtaining a business degree taught me that you can't trust most people and that even if they do get the work done you would likely have been far better off had you done it yourself.

While I know this won't be the case concerning my current project and the participants involved the feeling and experience of the past has always been hard for me to shake. This will be a struggle and a challenge in the coming months. You, dear readers, will get to see that struggle in digital print.
