What Do You Think of My Look for the New Year?

At a luncheon for new parishioners a few months ago, we learned that our church in Austin produces a play each year, just after Christmas. It's called the Boar's Head Pageant (kind of a musical, medieval Christmas tale and celebration of the Epiphany). Our daughter grabbed a piece of paper, wrote down her name and phone number and went off to sign up for a part. The lady in charge came up to us a few minutes later, just to be sure we had given our permission. And that was that.

She was, apparently, in need of a 6'1" shepherd, much to the delight of my little girl.
There were numerous preparations and rehearsals, involving well over a hundred of our fellow parishioners (I'm guessing), all leading up to two packed performances this past weekend. I was actually surprised how much fun it was! Why didn't I ever sign up for drama in high school?
Oh, that's right. I was that shy, kind of geeky guy....
