Weslie Woodley as Fantine

Speaking of the Norovirus, Tracy Lynn Olivera was apparently stricken with the virulent plague yesterday. She teaches voice at Catholic University, so....you do the math there. As all of you know, I love her with my soul and hope she mends well.
Her understudy is Weslie Woodley, who usually plays my wife, Marie.
As you all may also know, I love her just as much, and was SOOOOO proud of her last night as she went into the role of Fantine for the first time!
Here are the photos...






































Well done, Weslie!
Get well, Tracy!

luv,

Sick Again.

Well, just as soon as I had recovered from "The Plague", I have acquired a new treat. A coldish/fluish thing that currently has me laid up on the couch. I have not been ill so frequently in one season since childhood. Interestingly enough, Channel 4 talked about Virginia being the first state in the country to reach "widespread" flu break out levels this year.
Also, speaking of the plague, I saw this little gem of a news story this morning: Catholic University has been hit hard by "The Plague" which in actuality is the Norovirus. There are several ties to Catholic that run through Les Miserables, so I do hope that those folks stay healthy.
Everyone remember to wash your hands frequently, and take your vitamins and get plenty of rest.
Stay well,
SGS

The Plague

A plague has ripped through the barricade this past week and a half. Sorry I have not written much. Matt and I both got the horrible stomach virus that we lovingly refer to as "The Plague".
I have read of local outbreaks of a "norovirus" - much like those cruise ship viruses.
So I thought I would pass on this funny photo sent to me by Jordi Perry, who plays Gavroche ...



Stay healthy everybody!
