Just a quick update for those of you still checking the blog for Sonja's continued progress.....everything moves apace, and she starts teaching again this Monday. It's the same Intro to Acting class that all of the RPTA's (resident professional teaching associates) here at Cornell are asked to teach, a mix of undergraduates from varied backgrounds and mostly non-majors (we had more engineering students last semester than prospective actors). I began work on Passion of Dracula this past Monday (the redoubtable Dr. Seward), and pick up my first class this Tuesday.
Hope everyone had a peaceful and joyous holiday season. Ours was quiet and quite lovely here in Ithaca; snow, good books and netflix. I think we're both looking forward to moving into the next phase now, going back to work and picking up our lives again back in the world. I'll continue to post periodically here with news on Sonja's health and recuperation (I've tried to convince her that she should be the one posting these notes, but so far she hasn't been grabbed by the whole "blogging thing". She is, however, making noise about using good old fashioned snail mail in the near future).
Anyway, our love to you all, have a Wonderful Martin Luther King Day, and good health!!

P.S. -- I've included a link to the text of the I Have A Dream Speech.....a little something to remind us all of genuine integrity and courage in this season of hyperbole and political Hucksterism.
