"I have the toothache"
Dunkirk NY – While I was writing my previous post, I began to feel a great deal of pain in the right side of my mouth. I had been kept up the night before with a bit of pain, but I had thought it was a passing thing. But after posting the piece, the pain had only grown worse. I called my dentist, who apparently does not work on Friday, and got some medication to carry me through this past weekend. It qualifies as one of the worst weekends I’ve ever spent in my life. And today I get to sit in the big chair and find out what all this is about. I suspect a root canal is imminent.
So bear with me, and in the meantime, if you haven’t already, you can read Scott Walter’s response to my “One New Play A Year” campaign. No doubt I will follow his suggestion at my own institution with a “special topics” course in contemporary drama for the fall of 08. We’ll see where that takes us. -twl
wanted to wish you all the best after these many years…
