HELLO DOWN THERE!: One of the first things I saw this morning was this lovely photo (above) from NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, who is closing in on a year in space aboard the International Space Station.  

Kelly wrote, "Good morning, Aurora and the Pacific Northwest!"

To be honest, I don't think I would have known this was a photo of the PacNW if Kelly hadn't told us.  I wish I had a point of reference in that photo. I'm guessing that one of the biggest city lights clusters is Seattle, but I could be wrong. 

PLAYING AROUND:  Midday, we spent about 90 minutes doing the full install of the banners that make the set for the play ("Ariadne's Thread," a Greek Myth based on "Theseus and the Minotaur") that CJ and a couple dozen others will be performing in on Thursday and Friday. 

We sewed the muslin banners and then had to figure out how to hang them, working around things like the HVAC ductwork and fire sprinkler system piping. 

The art on the back wall (vases inspired by ancient Greek art and architecture) was done by students, including Annabelle.

The photo above is from the actual dress rehearsal. CJ (center stage), has his back to the audience. 

This evening, we made another 70 spanakopitam, which will be available as snacks for play goers. We're getting closer to the magic "300" number we have to produce. Hooray!
