Wild boars, coming to a bookstore near you!

Rebecca in lights

Rebecca was in a production of The Wish Peddler this morning at New Haven's old Lincoln Theater. She did extremely well, had a lot of lines, handled them well, and the show as a whole was excellent. Here's the cast after the fact. Rebecca is two to the left of the clown/one to the right of the witch/four to the right of the tree:

1.

Great picture! This looks like a lot of fun - and congratulations to Rebecca - I am always impressed by people who tread the boards.

2.

Thing is, this is the last thing David or I would ever do. This is totally her thing.

3.

I recognize her dignified smiling face! My congrats to her!

4.

Her dignity is a public mask!

5.

Why does she always slouch like that? Do they have a prize for it or something? Oh...and congrats!

6.

I don't know that she' slouching there, but she does slouch at the computer, certainly. As do I....

7.

But I love *your* slouching. And your muttered commentaries while working on the computer...(Is that it? Could it be? Yes! Yes, Yes, YES!) while enrobed in minimalist clothing which you profess to disdain, like a scantily clad sorceress from a Boris Vallejo painting. And I can't imagine you any other way.

Whereas there may still be hope for Rebecca.

8.

Seriously, it's uncanny how closely your imagination approaches the truth.

9.

Well, imagination is generous. Most people call it "spying".

10.

Such an ugly word.
