I have made it home without being eaten by bears, or seeing any, for that matter.
The show had an impromptu preview Tuesday night. I think it was good for the cast to have an audience, even one made up of theatre staff and board members. After having been in front of an audience for six weeks, to go back to the rehearsal hall and tech must have been disconcerting. I tried to be as responsive as I could, but I have an annoying laugh.
We did notes after the show, and then I took care of notes after that, so I missed my opportunity to hang out with the cast one last time. They were a great group of people to work with, and I hate that I did not get a chance to say goodbye.
The flight home was OK for the most part. The head of maintanence at the Juneau airport neglected to sign a form, so our plane could not take off for about an hour. I ended up missing my connection at the Seattle airport. This turned out to be for the best because I was able to take the direct flight to DC, instead of having to go through Detroit. I slept most of the way on both flights, although I missed the meal on the Seattle to DC flight so I was starving when I got off the plane.
So much of my life has been wrapped up in that show for the past three months, it seems strange leaving it behind. I feel a bit like I have abandoned The Director, who is SMing the show in Alaska. I find I am a bit depressed.
On a "Timing is Everything in Life" note: When I got back to the hotel at 1:00am Tuesday night/ Wednsday morning, there was a phone message from the Actress. She was free that evening, and we could have done dinner if I had known.
I am glad to be back home.

now you see... what you were supposed to do when you missed a connection in Seattle was CALL ME. then you'd catch a much later direct flight after we've gotten together for coffee. sheesh. :)
Sorry. I got the 1:05 to DC (which actually turned out to be 1:40), so i still wasn't in Seattle that long. Next time, I promise.
