I am having a problem.  The Red Sox are indeed the wild card in this equation.  Much juggling has to be done in order to keep on top of all of this.  Because of course when you&#8217;re in a play, you can&#8217;t just show up for rehearsals cold.  You have to do a lot of work before you get there &#8211; hours and hours of it.  Memorizing lines, research, imagination, etc. etc.  Which I have been doing, and which is a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p>The juggling act continues.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s funny how the brain must adjust as well.  When I&#8217;m in rehearsal, I must be 100% there.  When I&#8217;m watching a Red Sox game, I must be 100% present.  When I&#8217;m doing laundry &#8230; well, actually, no.  I find laundry to be a sort of Zen-ish activity &#8211; very meditative.  I memorize lines, I zone out in a dream-space &#8230; I can multi-task there.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy the challenge.  I take a couple of minutes before each gear-shift, to let the former concerns go (Okay &#8230; cannot be thinking about the Red Sox while in rehearsal &#8230; breathe &#8230; let it go &#8230; Graffanino!  Argh!!!!!  Nope.  Forget Graffanino.  Let it go &#8230; let it go &#8230;)  And it works somehow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily rehearsals. Red Sox.
