Posted: 8/1/05 at 4:51pmNever too late. My wife hates Kate Monster's comment that you have to go after things while you are still in your prime. Hooey!

Posted: 8/1/05 at 4:54pmbrdlwyr- That Kate Monster line freaks me out. I saw Avenue Q when I was 28, and that line made me SO anxious.

I feel old today! I guess a 20 year high school reuninion can do that to you. And, I was asked so many times. "Do you still do plays?"

Posted: 8/1/05 at 5:03pmIt's all in how you define "prime." I certainly don't feel ready to go for anything right now...

Posted: 8/1/05 at 7:18pmRath remember, 40 is the new 30 and 30 is the new 20. By this reasoning you can play Elphaba!

Dedicating one of my favorite songs from BOY FROM OZ to Rath...
JUDY
You need an older woman to teach you
One who is barely reaching her prime
Who thinks you're fun
Not someone to preach to
What do you say - let's have a good time
'Cause with an older woman
Nothing you do is a crime
(spoken:) You have the makings of a monster, kid. I like that.
PETER (spoken)
I 'm not sure what you mean?
JUDY (spoken)
Hang around. You'll learn. You really want to come to New York?
PETER (spoken)
It's all I've ever wanted.
JUDY (spoken)
Then you're in big trouble.
PETER
I'm waiting-
I need an older woman beside me
I need a mentor
JUDY
I need a drink
PETER
I want an older woman to guide me
CHRIS
Where are we headed?
MARK
Where do you think?
JUDY
Over the goddamn rainbow
PETER, CHRIS & MARK
Right down the yellow brick road
PETER
And whadda-ya-know, I've found my ideal woman
ALL
Only one who's been 'round the block
Can give you the ride you need
PETER, CHRIS & MARK
Always there absorbing the shock
JUDY
One built for comfort
PETER, CHRIS & MARK
Not for speed
ALL
Stir up a flame from out of the embers
I sense a fire starting in you
PETER, CHRIS & MARK
What do ya say to making some mem'ries
JUDY
Out of the old
PETER, CHRIS & MARK
Comes something that's new
Maybe an older woman
Is going to help us break through
JUDY
As for me, I just can't wait to see her
PETER, CHRIS & MARK
Honestly, we were hoping you might be her
ALL
Eventually - when you get to be an older woman
JUDY
Like me

Well, I think being the older woman is WAY more fun...
Rath, I know how you feel... it's not what you expected. But, just think of how much more interesting the roles are for the more mature woman. I wouldn't trade my age and experience for anything!
*puts on bathrobe and grabs another drink*
Cheer up... you are as young as you feel!

Posted: 8/1/05 at 8:26pmCareer-wise, I'm fine with it - but relationship-wise, not ready yet!
