Major kudos, congrats and bravos to Mr. Rob Seitelman and Mr. Ben Birney for the acceptance of their musical "Sophia's Fall" (Based on Milton's poem, Paradise Lost) into NYMF (New York Musical Festival)!!!!!! I have seen version 4 through 7.5 and it's brilliant! It's playing at 37 Arts on 37th and 11th (I think) from Sept. 18-20. WOOOHOOO!!!

Sophia's Fall will be hosting a fundraiser at Chevy's at The Embarcadero in a few weeks. More details to come...

So, if you need an excuse to travel, you got one!

And, our trip to our old digs only means that we get to spend time with our FRIENDS!!! And meet babies that were born after we moved. Hurry up Sept. 15th....we're coming soon!! YIPPEE!!!

Two Months Gone By

Geez...two months + have gone by without blogging. Well, I guess packing, moving, getting a new job, joining the Board of the Jewish Federation Young Leadership Division, weddings, birthdays, showers and such will do that to ya. So, a recap of the past 60 some days...Rob and I said goodbye to Hollywood and we arrived full circle back to the Bay. We have been currently living at my mom's but will be moving to our new digs on Friday (fingers crossed with the movers) to Walnut Creek. A perfect location...30 minutes to both of your jobs in two opposite directions. Though I'll miss city life, it's nice to get settled. However, I wouldn't call the past year in LA an experience in a city. LA is more like one big suburb. I miss my New York...but we are coming to visit her next month. WOOOHOOO!!! I got a job as the Director of Community Relations at Sunrise Senior Living and am loving every bit of it. Rob's been working diligently on his curriculum for his students. He is the theater teacher and department head of a brand new performing arts high school in Antioch. I joined the Board of the Young Leadership Division (YLD) of the Jewish Federation of the Greater East Bay. It's been fantastic!! And, the people are even more wonderful! I will announce all of the "not to be missed" events in the coming months we are planning. Calling all Jews...come on down for some good grub, good schmoozing and all around good times! It has been a special treat to be just minutes from mom and dad and old friends. I haven't had that in about five years. I wish Rob's fam was closer so we could all enjoy our company together. Toby found new friends at Pride & Pedigree. If you live in the Oakland area, and have a pooch, take your doggie to the best day care EVER...Pride & Pedigree. Yes, we are one of those couples. I am doing everything I said I wouldn't with a dog. We've settled back into the Bay Area life pretty quickly....a much slower pace but a good one. CAL season tickets, Berkeley Rep season tickets, an apartment big enough to host many dinners and have many people spend the night (anything seems bigger than 490 sq. ft) :) Life is good. I hope it's good for you, too!
