Happy Belated Thanksgiving, everyone! Sergio sent us a gorgeous basket of fruit and pastry to celebrate the season - I may or may not have eaten more than half of the cherries. I also ate this:
Sergio did not send us cucumbers... they're my snack of choice to avoid eating too many devil M&M's:
Company Management provided us with a Thanksgiving feast on Thursday afternoon. Even though I missed my family something fierce, it was nice to have a "family dinner" of sorts.
The desserts were sub-par, and I'm not just picky. We all agreed the pumpkin pie was crap. Luckily the butternut squash and sweet potato mash was DELICIOUS, so I stuck to the main courses and salad.
There was also a puff pastry full of roasted veggies. This should be a new Thanksgiving staple - so good.
Sam and I full of turkey:
My darling, Chris (pianist extraordinaire):
With Alex, or Peanut:
LOVING THEM (Josh, Robbie, and Robbie's hubby):
After "dinner" at 1pm, we ran to catch the next showing of THE MUPPETS. Outside the theatre was a set up for the new Tin Tin film - pretty excited about it.
And of course, no Thanksgiving would be complete without Sam's mole. I painted it to look like those hand-print turkeys we all made in grade school:

The next morning, we had a brush-up dance rehearsal. Here's Sam experimenting with "levels":

Funny thing how bar fights happen. Or rather, how people you know can get hit over the head with a clipboard for absolutely no reason. This happened to one of our company members (he's fine, the case is pending). In honor of this occasion, I give you Sam's mole:
Wait...

Friends, let's just say I'm happy to be leaving Canada tomorrow morning (at 7:30am, ugh). November has almost reached its close, and with that we will have to say a fond farewell to the Duke and all of the moustaches this Mo'vember brought into our lives:
Don't despair. The Duke is always but a week away.

I'm sorry this post is so choppy. I'm not feeling altogether inspired in this city - maybe due to the fact that I haven't been on stage in two weeks. My brain is elsewhere. I'll leave you with a musical clip that's been playing over and over in my head: Thanks to The Mirror Has Two Faces (courtesy of Toronto's crappy cable options), I've been humming Turnadot for the better part of an hour. Enjoy the divine Luciano Pavarotti, and I'll see you in Schenectady (or Buffalo, if I'm lazy).
