Now it's August in my 'busiest year ever' and I'm probably six months away from retiring.
I spent a chunk of July working evenings and weekends building the set for 'Willy Wonka,' in which my son was cast. It was a huge hit, and I've never been so proud. We've already moved away from our little town, so I'm viewing the show's completion as my son's final farewell to it. Talk about leaving on a high note.
He leaves for college in just three weeks, so the show's end feels almost like his "Goodbye" to us, too. Life will be very different from now on but it has to go on. We can't just sit still re-living the memories.
That said, here are some memories from that fine production:
