An unexpected expedition

I enjoy life. I enjoy the whimsy and color and love and depth.

I also enjoy unexpected expeditions.

I often feel that large chunks of life have a logical, almost scripted flow to them. Whenever there's a chchance to get off-page...I try to. Often that is in the form of random trips to the beach, taking one way instead of the usual way...and it's always exhilarating and fun.

The unpredictability can be rather amusing.




I was in the middle of homework (and will have to return to it as soon as I get back) but when I saw a Facebook post mentioning a second round of auditions for a local theatre...I suddenly had the itch. I wanted to take an unexpected side-trip.

So I fixed my hair and make-up, put on my new dress with my yellow wedding heels, and went to the auditions. Why not?

And now I am standing here, waiting, reading over a hilarious monologue and I have to say, the shine might be wearing off this particular trip. I'm not looking to wait too long--I've got student teaching in the morning.

We'll see...
