Casting call update
The short word is we don't know anything about Anya being cast in Oklahoma.
We went to check for the cast list and in its place was a sign saying, "Due to unforseen circumstances (the holiday weekend, a flooded basement, etc.) the Oklahoma cast list will not be posted until Wednesday eve at 7 pm."
My question, which I think is quite appropriate, is since when is Labor Day weekend an "unforseen circumstance"? Did it suddenly appear on these teachers' calendar on Sunday at 3am, and when they awoke on Sunday they exclaimed with shock, "Oh my heck, Monday is Labor Day!"? Or do they have some sort of Harry Potter calendar that changes of its own accord and at its own whim, in which case unforseen circumstances are probably the least of their worries.
Artists, thespians, musicians...an unreliable lot. But I suppose worth the hassle when we see their vision come to fruition.
And after all, supposedly, allegedly, I'm one of them.
Ack.
We'll update whenever the cast list is actually posted. In the meantime, Anya must deal with 48 hours more of nerves.
Those people are merciless.

Labor-less Day
Shouldn't Labor Day be called something else? I mean, we all take a rest from labor, right? So, Recovery Day, or Restful Day? In Utah, we call it Snow Day.
Yes, September 1st and we have the first snowfall on Mt. Timpanogos. So strange to look out from our deck and see snow capping the peaks.
No snow here in the valley, but we've only had a high of 62 degrees at our house. Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall in 12 hours!
We spent the day at home mostly. Anya spent the night with a friend so Karen & I ventured out before noon and picked her up. We embraced the cool weather with, at Jenna's request, Tortilla Soup, a family favorite. And we had a family tournament of Probe, a really old game that's kind of like Hangman.
Oh, and Emily grabbed the camera for a few self-portraits of her own.
