I don’t know about you but I don’t really like airports nor flying. Especially not when the security is elevated or when the person sitting next to me is hogging the armrest. I don’t enjoy having to deal with TSA folks barking orders at me, telling me to remove my belt, shoes, jacket, loose change, laptop, camcorder, and everything that’s shiny… However, this past weekend I was reminded how its all worth it because I am able to spend time with my old friends from all over the country through my one-woman show.

I had an opportunity to perform at Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind in Tucson as their fundraising event for their International Deaf Studies program. I also had an opportunity to stay at my best friend’s home throughout the weekend. It sure beats the company of a hotel staff. :) Oh! I forgot to mention that I was sick as a dog over the weekend as well but I did manage to have a good time. :)

Before the show, my buddy took us to Gates Pass so that we’d catch the sunset. After watching the sunset, I was inspired enough to do my show the best I could in spite of my sluggish energy. Now, I think I ought to watch sunsets more often. :) As usual, I didn’t have any pictures of my performance because nobody seems to have the time to take some however, I’ll leave you with some snapshots.

My college buddy and her daughter took me to a nearby zoo the day I flew back home. It was fun.

Those three folks behind me were the ones that auditioned for the NOYBTV American Deaf Idol. Two of them happened to be my former roommates from RIT. :)

Arizona is my last show for 2007. My next show will be in February 2008. I hope to use my time from now til then to finalize my DVD, new website, and a new show before I get busy again. Currently, I am booked from February until October 2008. Could you believe its been 3 years already? Time flies when you’re having fun (without TSA folks, of course.)

Until then, happy holidays to you all.

Hugs,
Rosa Lee
