A blogger's take on a meeting he had with Obama last year: an hour and a half with Obama. Succinct, straightforward, and interesting.
Compulsively refreshing cnn.com for early election returns today: not good for my mental health, probably. At least I won't be running myself ragged with anticipation all tonight because, hello, my show is opening tonight. Here's hoping for an enthusiastic, if small, audience. Right now, the main fixable problem with the show is the actors' conviction that it's not much good, so an enthusiastic reception tonight would do wonders boosting their confidence. It's NOT a bad show. If they could only get excited about it, it could yet pull together and become a fairly GOOD show. But I swear, the director is doing everything in her power to ensure the opposite result, and it's really painful for me to watch at this point. She attacks where she should encourage and criticizes when she should praise, and that helps no one, especially this late in the game. Maybe she's trying to overcompensate for the past eight weeks of non-direction. Bah.
