Time at Lv's place.

Lv's is in her new place and after five glorious minutes of being alone I moved in on her, colonized the couch and the kitchen table... But it' s good. We're well practiced at living in the same space. And we're relieved to be getting up together, working together, eating together and being alone. Together.

Right now I'm performing on the script something I've been calling 'the squeeze'. Lv and I read it a few times, talked about things, crossed things out, special ordered some minor changes - Georgia is solid. Leona is three quarters digested and needs, we feel, one more go-through. So she's the one I'm spending the time with. And it's a squeeze because the changes you make up top have to be carried down and down and down until you come out the other side of her story.

Before I fell asleep last night I was thinking about all the places this script has been and all the personalities it has been tested through - at the three readings we did with friends who offered their attention and feedback. As a storytelling piece, G & L had many authors from the start. By now though, I think its bibliography is about as long as the piece itself. You know what I mean? If the guy sleeping in the lobby at the Days Inn outside of Chicago was a playwright, I'd be out of business!
