Mitchell is off, as of tomorrow, onto a 4-month cruise around the Mediterranean and also up the coast along the Atlantic – performing in a Second City show on the cruise ship. They will go to Istanbul, Athens, Alexandria, Morocco, Rome, where else … Portugal … oh, and 3 stops in Ireland … and also Norway. Like: WTF?? Mitchell’s never been out of the United States and now he’s doing this? To quote Jordan, “You can go straight to hell.” We are all so so excited for our friend – what an opportunity – and although I don’t see Mitchell nearly as much as I want, the thought of him being out of the country gives me separation anxiety. I can’t wait until he comes home, basically – so that I know where he is, and don’t have to imagine him … oh, strolling thru the ruins in Athens, or smoking a hookah pipe with some sheikh in Morocco, a la Orson Welles. It’s been a whirlwind for Mitchell – 3 weeks of rehearsal – he had just started rehearsal when I was in Chicago, and he had what he called “crazy eyes” the entire time. Kate said to me, “Have you seen the crazy eyes? How bad is it? I can’t wait to see the crazy eyes!” Every day was a day of growth, challenge, fear, overcoming obstacles … I am so proud of him! And also so jealous I could spit nails.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
