As I entered the theatre tonight, someone stopped me and remarked that I looked familiar, asked if I was an actor. I said I wasn't, but I had done a show or two a few years ago. As it happens, that was where they knew me from. Strange to be recognized like that for something I did once, and not for something I've poured my life into. Needless to say, tonight's show was great, and to no surprise, my friend ended up being the best part of it by far, praise which I say with no nepotistic affect or bias. As I walked to my car, I passed by two sixty year-old men playing Jimmy Buffet songs for an empty wine bar. To my mind, the foremost tragedy was that they had to spend thousands of dollars on that equipment.
