Bluegrass fan? Yes, indeed. I grew up in the sunny south, spoon fed on southern harmonies. My Paw Paw was a guitar-picker, and I inherited his love for Appalachian music–and one of his mandolins! I’m not the picker that he was, but I love to listen and occasionally play a Read more
It’s still a little early to put it to bed, but I thought I’d take a stab at outlining some of the things that I’ve learned from my participation in SCCT’s production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. We’ve got shows this Friday (7/26, 8pm) and Saturday (7/27, 2pm & 8pm) Read more
I’ve had the last few nights off from Crucible, which has been a good thing. We’ve capitalized on the time, hitting some of the family things that get lost to rehearsal schedules. Monday was our first for-real sit down, un-rushed family dinner in a few weeks. Yesterday was a tremendous Read more
We spent a great afternoon with some fabulous friends today. Levi had to work, so he wasn’t able to join us, but we spent the evening at DelGrosso’s Amusement Park in terrific Tipton, PA. Folks who have a season pass can bring a guest into the park with them every Read more
I was frantically trying to assemble the new grill so that Curtis Price would have a nice workspace for our 4th of July party. Of course, it was mere hours before the party and I was attempting to slap the grill together as Levi and Isaac were putting the finishing Read more
There was a day when I’d hear the phrase “running lines” and immediately think of needing to go check the lake to see if we’d caught any fish. These days it has a distinctly different meaning. I’m studying every night to learn my lines for my role as Rev. Parris Read more
We’re gearing up around Casa de Sublett for a grand 4th of July celebration. We’ve hosted a big shindig for as long as I can remember. It used to be a youth group/families party, but over the past few years as my role shifted so did the party. Last year Read more
It makes sense, I suppose. Summer is the season for weddings. I’ve been asked to officiate a few weddings this summer, and have another coming shortly. Last summer I think I inked my name to a record 10 marriage licenses! And it feels like everywhere I turn I’m running into Read more
A few months ago I wrote a humorous (imho) post about my new role as the pastor of a small church in Salem, MA. SCCT is running Arthur Miller’s The Crucible this summer, and I am playing the part of Rev. Samuel Parris. It’s a bit out of my norm, Read more
Welp, we took 15 of us to the beach, and we brought 15 back. Not too shabby. We call came back tanned and relaxed and refreshed and all the things you’re supposed to be when you come home from a stay at the beach. Including sunburnt/peely (ewww), a little sand Read more
