Here we are at the end of another year. The end of a decade in fact. How did that happen? It's true what my parents say, It all goes by so fast. I spent New Year's 2000 in Asheville working at the Grove Park Inn. Here it is ten years later, and I'm still here, but in a far different place than back then. Still it all seems like a blink of the eye. This has been the most productive decade of my life by far, but I really don't feel much further ahead than when it began.
This year has been a notable year: I lost my father, I had more theater projects than ever, developed new relationships, I saw many good shows, including the Beastie Boys in my hometown, we elected a President I actually respect, and finally traveled to Mexico. I was the slackest I've ever been about keeping a blog, but most or the major stuff can be found in my previous posts.
By the way, as promised, here are some photos from Mexico:
This is Mrida, Yucatn, Mexico where I spent most of the time. It's a very lovely city. Because of it's location It has a more of a European influence than a Mexican one. No skyscrapers, lots of old buildings, narrow streets, numerous cafe's and shops, and very walkable.
These are the Mayan ruins at Uxmal. I spent a day touring five ancient Mayan archeological sites. Uxmal was the biggest and most impressive. Most of the structures were built around 1000 AD.
The theater we performed in.
Random pictures from the house we stayed in.
More pictures can be found here.
I have no plans for tonight. I'm just going to see where it takes me. If I don't leave the house it's okay. The best part about having a lousy New Years is that it can only go up from there.
Have a happy 2010!
