Well, I’m about to head to Tullahoma. As far as I know, I won’t have any particular friends or family in the audience tonight. My parents are in Gatlinburg, expected to return tomorrow, and will see me tomorrow night or Sunday. My LEAMIS friends are coming tomorrow night. My co-workers were planning to come tonight but that was disrupted a little by my editor’s recent hospital stay, so now I’m not sure when they’re coming.

Of course, I will have one co-worker in the audience tonight: Mary Reeves. But she’s there to see her son, the lead in the play. And she’s already seen bits and pieces at rehearsal.

The silver lining, I guess, is that I don’t have as much pressure tonight. But I will kind of miss having someone there for the opening night reception that follows the play.
