Good luck with the home improvements and with the real estate market. I hope good things come of the February 25 open house and the three shows.

We’ll miss you in the meantime. Be easy with yourself.

A few years ago, I got on a kick where I did a 24 hour fast every Tuesday. I drank only water and lemon water. After I month or two I stopped the practice because I didn't have a good reason to continue. It was just some random ideal that entered my head and set up shop for a while. Something to do with purity no doubt. Raising money and awareness (and doing this with a group of people I assume) are much better motivators. Good luck. Two: All I know about John Ruskin is David Pye's The Nature and Art of Workmanship. In this book, published in 1968, Pye critiques Ruskin's, "On the Nature of Gothic." If you haven't read it already I highly recommend it. Three: Great to see all this activity on the blog. High quality stuff. Four: I'll be posting and commenting very infrequently for the next month because: A: My computer is in the shop. Something to do with faulty capacitors and Chinese industrial espionage. B: At work, we're loading in three different shows, Marat/Sade, Turn of the Screw, and Slaughter City (which we haven't started building yet) in three consecutive weeks starting next week. C: Liz and I have decided to put our house on the market so we can get back to Austin while the gettn's good. Our realtor has asked us to repaint most of the house and refinish the floors. We're having an open house on February 25. Until then I'll be averaging five hours of sleep per night. See you on the flip side. One: This is exciting Ned. Have you completed a fast this long before?

I hope you'll post about your experience with the thirty-hour fast and the parameters of the hunger strike (are you allowed a certain food (crackers, matzo) or liquids) and the outcome of your fundraising efforts. Two: I found this link to the Ruskin essay online: http://socserv2.socsci.mcmaster.ca/~econ/ugcm/3ll3/ruskin/ruskin Sounds very interesting.

I hope you think of the third thing you want us to know.
