Howdy Late-Niters,

Just returned from Calvary Costa Mesa's Drama Dept. production "The Present."

When I worked there I did the music for 9 or 10 plays (all written/directed and everything you can think of by Kim & Lee Durlach - wife & husband, respectively.)

Everything, except running the sound, is done by students. And, somehow (I figure I know how,) it always comes off.

The play took place in Civil War days, and involved a Time Machine. Some good undertones of It's a Wonderful Life - the "what-ifs" of life and circumstance.

It's a Christian play, of course, and it's message is clear - supposed to be. But, oh, how good those kids are. And a new crop keeps on a-comin' up.

Tonite I saw 6'2" "hairy-legged" boys and "Belle-of-the-Ball" beauties who stood about 3 feet tall when I last saw some of them. I felt like Uncle Ned tonite. Poppin' buttons of good-kind pride.

Brava, Bravo, and Bravi kids.
As always, you made Uncle Ned smile.

Sleeptime,

The Rez

PS: How does Gord tie into all this. He woulda been grinnin w/ all 32 tonite and lovin' the Steven Foster.

Elizabeth & Rebecca: Hope, hypocracy, and forgiveness are, indeed, the human condition and relationship w/ the Lord (or each other, and more - even for those who search.

I don't know the heart of any person - only what discernment I might possess. I only know that I sure could say/sing Forgive Me, Lord.

"How about Rez?" you ask. Standing in The Present. Tonites play drove it home. Perhaps it's called The Present because each day is a gift.

Sorry to be so long winded: just ran out.

The Rez
