The Holidays

by

I love the holidays. They are a time when I everything is revolving around family. There is no other option and I cannot work. I mean, I could work, but with the hustle and bustle that goes on at this time - I am forced to relax more than I would. So, here I am in California far away from New York. Do I miss New York? Absolutely. I don’t have my next gig lined up yet, so I really want to make sure that I get myself out there at all the auditions. But right now, New York is dead. There is hardly anything going on. If I was going to be out of the city, now would be the time. This all doesn’t change the fact that I could use the audition and work time. I do love this field of performance and I would not change it for the world. I must admit, however, it is not easy to get some of the smallest things done at this time of year as well. I have a brother with two beautiful children. With them around, all my time and energy is consumed. It is not a complaint, it is a fact. I don’t get to be with my family that often. Does this mean my craving for the stage is lost during this time? Absolutely not. I will be sad to leave here at the end of the my vacation, but simultaneously very happy to be back in show mode.
Enjoy this random video I found:
