Yesterday’s rehearsal productive and not irritating, probably because Their Highnesses were absent. What do you do when your absence makes things better?

Incredibly productive day at the studio. A new direction, a new confidence.

Sam will not be staying with me after all.

It is not yet dark, but we might be going through a day without a thunderstorm.  Wondering when Tony will address the backyard, and what machine he will use upon its overgrown wildness. I see men in turbans swinging scythes. . . .

As You Like It at NC Stage tonight, with Adam as. . . somebody. I try not to resent the time it will take from writing.
