I was able to see Nathan Lane’s Frogs on Broadway. It was amazing. Thanks to Mark for making that happen. Funny and entertaining and very poignant. Sondheim’s music and wit and Nathan Lane’s additions created a great theatrical event.
There were times when I was totally engrossed and oblivious of my surroundings. For me, it was an emotional follow-up for Fahrenheit 9/11. I questioned again my role in the world. What am I to do? How do I respond? Am I a frog and just sit around and wait for things to happen? Or can I change my behavior to create a better place for people? How can I affect my communities? I am still praying for discernment for this one. Where are you at with the state of the world? How do you feel about it? What do you think is the most productive way to make changes?

The origional production was done in the Yale Swimming pool, and was part of the Yale school of drama season. A couple of the chorus members were Christopher Durang, Meryl Streep, Sigourney Weaver.

I am also stuggling with this one. I'm so very frustrated with the state of US politics I am thinking of becoming a Canadian. I have started studying about Canada - of course there are other mitigating factors in this decision. I really don't want to be part of any country that could elect Bush to lead them.
I am also worried about the environment and how critical it is to protect it and how helpless I feel against big business.
On top of feeling small, I just don't have the energy to take on anything besides caring for myself and my family at this point in my life.
So perhaps my contribution to changing the world is raising a son full of love and respect and perhaps he will have the energy to fight for these things. Perhaps.
So my comments add more questions rather than answers, but often that is the way of the world.
